Tan Team Challenge Relay

The Tan Team Challenge Relay is back for 2012.

This year’s Tan Team Challenge Relay will see a format like no other.

Teams of four are required to complete three laps of the Tan Track. Strategy is the key to winning as runners will need to pre-determine their start and finish legs of the race. This means teams will need to decide the distance around the Tan that each runner will run.   

Here are some ways to increase your team’s racing strategies:  

Choose at least one or two runners who can complete at least one lap of the Tan Track at a comfortable pace.

Take advantage of strong sprinters who can dominate the Anderson Street Hill or pick up ground and take over in the final stretch.

Start your strongest runner first to give you a good start to the race.

The Tan Team Challenge Relay will be held on March 14. You can register your team of four at http://www.melbournecitysports.ymca.org.au
