Summer Relay Series

This is a series of 5 races is held on alternate Tuesday in the early Summer months. Each race is held at a different location around Kent, hosted by one of the local clubs. Teams of 3 or 4, dependant on age & sex categories, compete in a relay format. The points scored by the A team in each category count towards a cumulative score for the series. The Club's top runners form the A teams, but anybody who wants a run can do so, we'll always field B, C or even D teams if we get the runners.
The races manage to be both fun and keenly competetive. Folkestone usually manage to make the most noise cheering on all our runners. The final event of the series usually finishes with a picnic supper after the prize giving.
