The Ridgeway Relay

Ridgeway Relay RouteThe Ridgeway is one of England's National Trails, covering 86.5 miles from Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire to Overton Hill near Marlborough.


 
 

The Ridgeway Relay

The Ridgeway Relay is a team relay organised by Marlborough Running Club. It is run over ten legs, the legs varying in length from 5.4 miles to 11.0 miles.  The route leaves The Ridgeway itself some 2 miles before Overton Hill, and continues across Fyfield Down to the finish in Marlborough.

At least two of the legs must be run by female runners.  For "mostly ladies" teams, up to two of the legs may be run by male runners. The route is scenic, hilly and off-road. Teams are responsible for their own route planning & support on the day and we strongly advise that you recce your leg in advance!  
 
Teams compete for a team trophy on the basis of shortest total time taken to complete the course. Cut-off times are applied on some legs to ensure the race finishes by 8 pm, but teams will not be disqualified for missing the cut-off times, it simply means the next leg is started before the previous runner arrives - hard luck if he or she is running both legs!

Competitors may run more than one leg, but must run complete legs and all changeovers must take place at the designated locations.
