Setting the World Record

The world record will have been set if all 100 10k courses are continuously run between the hours of sunrise and sunset without losing sight of the sea.All runners must be part of a 10 member team and can only run one 10 k leg. Once the Challenge has begun ,relay legs cannot start before all 10 runners from the previous leg have completed the course . There must always be a team running the course.  The 100 Coastal Relay Runs are each organised in 10 starting time zones.Bookings can be made upon Registration.

In the event that a Town completes 10 legs of the course before sunset , then the last Team will be required to continue running until the sun goes down.

Best Performance Prizes include the Town which covers the greatest distance during the day and the Team which completes the fastest leg.
