Relay guide

Relay guideTeam Competition guideClub Activity guide

Organisers configure Relay classes, legs and eligibility, then invite captains. Captains gather an available squad, select runners for teams, and manage entry and payment. Runners can offer availability or accept an invitation. Availability, selection, entry and payment are separate steps; use the instructions for your role.

Instructions reflect your current role. Management access is limited to your authorised event and team; reading a guide does not change your permissions.

1. Availability, selection and entry

Entrants and runners

Joining a squad tells a captain you are available; it does not create an entry or guarantee a team place. Selection assigns a runner to a Relay leg. A submitted team, a named roster and a paid team are separate states. Check the team's actual roster and payment status before the event.

2. Join a squad or accept an invitation

Entrants and runners

Use your captain's runner availability link. Where shown, choose Join the {club_short_name} squad. Supply runner details so the captain can consider you for selection; this is not a course entry. A separate captain invitation gives access to manage the club's Relay teams: sign in with the invited account and choose Accept invitation when offered. Existing matched accounts may be assigned directly instead. Contact the captain if your availability changes; do not assume this cancels an existing team entry. Choose Mark me available after checking your details. Signed-in runners can prefill from an authorised saved athlete; manual entry remains available. Use the optional note for running preferences, never medical information. Pass medical/emergency details directly to your captain on or before the day. Your club captain will confirm the arrangements for payment.

3. Captain responsibility for safety information

Entrants and runners

Captains obtain and maintain appropriate medical and emergency information outside O-entry and ensure it is available at the event. Relay squad/team entry does not send those details to the organiser. Captain authority does not provide access to medical information in athlete profiles. Agree advance precautions directly with the organiser; do not rely on a squad invitation or team entry to communicate them.
