chickEkiden 30K Relay
Saturday April 24, 2010 in Downtown Gainesville, Georgia
Relay Begins at 8:30am
The 2010 chickEkiden 30K Relay is a team event. The event is run on a 5K loop course. All exchanges will be made in an exchange zone at the finish line. Teams will have four to six members. Each member will run one or more legs to complete the 30K distance. Each team must complete six legs to be scored. Each team will be divided into two sub-teamswith two or three members. The sub-teams will concurrently run three legs to make up the 30K distance. Sub-team times will be added together for the final team 30K time. Each team member will run at least one leg.
Team competition will be encouraged with awards within the following divisions: Open (Age 19–39 Men, Women, Mixed), Masters (Age 40–49 Men, Women, Mixed), Grand Master (Age 50 & Over Men, Women, Mixed), High school (Age 15–18 Men, Women, Mixed) and Middle School (Age 13 & Under Men, Women, Mixed). A Men’s team can include one woman. A Woman’s team must be all women. A mixed team must include two women. This will be a great time to get 4-6 friends together, select a captain, challenge others in your division, and have a great time.

Programs include a Youth Running Program where young people aged 8–18 from Hall and surrounding counties train for and participate in the USATF Track & Field and Cross Country Junior Olympics State, Regional and National meets. 80 young athletes have participated in the youth program since October 2008.
