Families On Track
WHAT IS IT?
This is an exciting new running event held for the FIRST TIME EVER in Durham! Paula Radcliffe is a very vocal advocate for family health and fitness and her concept of “ Families on Track” encompasses everything she believes in as a runner…but more importantly as a mum! This new exciting event offers an opportunity for the whole family to enjoy a safe, fun and competitive event as a unit together. Mum, Dad. Kids, Grandparents, and other family members complete the 10km distance as a continuous relay, in whichever order or combination they decide upon. This offers a unique concept of adults and children running together, embracing exercise, but in a fun race format that can include everyone, no matter what age or ability.HOW DOES IT WORK?
There are 3 laps of varying distances. 1km, 500m and 250m. on a safe enclosed course.
Each family must complete 10km total distance in any combination of those distances they chose. (e.g. 6 x 1km 5 x 500m 6 x 250m=10km).
Each leg is completed by an individual who then hands over to another family member for the next leg.
You can run in any order and run any distance as long as you eventually complete 10km. Changeovers take place in the “Crazy Zone”. This is where the fun happens!
Each family will have its own Pen in the Crazy Zone. Sort the changes and cheer each other on. When you complete the distance the whole family group joins together for the Glory Leg up to the Finish Line.
