You need five people to make up your relay team entry. Once you have found them, choose who completes which runways, agree how you want to complete the distance, then decide when and where you want to do it. It’s as simple as that! You can walk, run, cycle, SUP, dance, kayak, swim – anything goes!
The challenge will be live for 21 days, between 11 – 31 July 2021.
You’re responsible for selecting where you complete the runway distance. All we ask is that you plan your courses safely and comply with any physical distancing restrictions, that may be in place.
With the group runway categories, you may complete all runway distances on the same day if you’re looking for a bigger challenge, in any order, or you can spread this out over multiple days.

Challenge notes
- Relay participants should complete each runway distance in one go, so that one set of data is uploaded for each distance.
- You may temporarily stop as many times as you like whilst completing you runway distance, but please ensure that your smartwatch / smartphone app keeps recording the total time, so that one set of data per runway is submitted.
- You can complete more than one runway on the same day, but we’d encourage everyone to plan safely when completing longer distances. Please also remember that you need to submit a time for each runway, instead of an overall time for multiple runway distances.
- We’ve recommended the split of runways between the relay teams, to try to keep it fairly equal. Each team member should complete each runway in one continuous attempt, so that one set of data only is uploaded for each airport runway distance.
