Teams will all arrive at the Gravel Pit before their calculated team start time. Each team will begin TWO runners (#1E and #1W) at the same time.The entire relay will depend upon the HONESTY and INTEGRITY of each team to complete the event course as defined.

    4. TRIENNIAL XV teams will consist of at least 4, but no more than 8 people.

    5. TRIENNIAL XV team roster must be submitted to Karen Ingall by September 16, 2023. Team Roster must include:
      1. Team Name
      2. Name of each runner
      3. Age/Gender of each on event date
      4. Section(s) each is running

    6. TRIENNIAL XV will consist of "head start times" calculated by the age/gender of each runner. The calculated head start for each runner will be totaled together and your team will receive a TOTAL HEAD START at which time two runners will begin from the Gravel Pit at Pipeline Road. (If your team is both young and male, this will most likely require you to try to catch teams already running.) Logistically, all teams should finish close together.

    7. TRIENNIAL XV winners will earn bragging rights when ALL team members have finished.
