Epsom & Ewell Harriers 3km Relay Race
Nonsuch Park
Tuesday 18th June 2024
7pm start
Welcome to the fourth Epsom and Ewell Harriers 3km Relay Race at Nonsuch Park. This annual fixture provides another exciting mid-week relay race during the summer months.
The purpose of this site is to provide some information about the course and organisation of the event. Hopefully, this will answer any queries you have, but if not please do not hesitate to get in touch.
New Course for 2024: the route is similar to last year, but with a small adjustment to the changeover location and an extra 'wiggle' on the approach, to improve visibility of incoming runners.
The course is an approximately 3km loop around Nonsuch park, taking in the main avenue featured in Parkrun.
Start / Finish / Race Control will be near the Parkrun course finish. The course itself will be similar to a lap of the former Parkrun 'A' course, but will go around Nonsuch House and along the Avenue from the gate by the car park road. The course will be clearly marked and there will be marshals at key points. It is approximately 3km in length and there are 4 legs (4 athletes per team).
There are male and female categories for each of the following:
Young Athletes
Seniors
Vets
Team / category rules are as follows:
Young athletes - must be at least 11, and no older than 16 on 31 August of the previous year.
Vets = M40 years or F35 years ON RACE DAY
Mixed age teams are classed as Senior teams
Mixed sex teams are ‘non-scoring’
If an athlete runs 2 or more legs, the team(s) of the second and subsequent legs are non-scoring.
Team Entry / Payment
Team bookings must be made via the online booking portal at https://register.enthuse.com/ps/event/NonsuchRelays2024
You must enter each team separately.
Entry Fee is £20 per team (non refundable).
You do not need to provide individual runners yet, just team names.
Please note there is a cut-off time of 80 minutes. All legs must be completed by 8:20pm.
Complete the entry form once per team.
For each team, use the Create button to create a new unique team name for including your club name and a suffix, for example "Epsom & Ewell Harriers: B".
Email addresses for team members can be left blank.
If you see an error message that a team already exists for this team manager, add a suffix on the end of the team manager's last name to make it unique.
Instructions for declaring your teams' runners will be provided a week before the race.
All teams must be entered by no later than 11pm on Monday 17th June. Please note that entries completely sold out last year, so don't leave it too late to enter teams! Amendments to teams can be made online until 18:30 on the day of the race. Team managers must collect numbers from race control from 6:15pm on race day and distribute numbers to their teams.
The person submitting the team declaration must ensure names are entered correctly. Date of birth entered will determine category.
It is the team manager / captain’s responsibility to ensure that team members are wearing the correct number for their team and participate in the correct order, as per the team declaration. Athletes in each leg should be attentive to the race and make sure they are in position for a smooth transition. No provision will be made for athletes who are not in the right place at the right time!
There are several car parks in Nonsuch Park, accessible from the Cheam Village entrance or the London Road entrances. Please consider parking in one of the London Road car parks and using that as an opportunity to for a warm up/down jog! If everyone descends on the Cheam Village entrance, there is unlikely to be enough parking. Please also consider more environmentally friendly travel arrangements if you live locally.
There will be prizes for each of the team categories.
As stated, any mixed sex teams are non-scoring and therefore not eligible for a prize. If you need to enter a mixed team, hopefully you will enjoy the taking part and friendly atmosphere.
As this is a licenced race, we will submit all times to Power of 10 as soon after the event as practically possible.
Please ensure correct names and Dates of Birth are entered online to ensure athletes can be matched.
There will be no staggered starts or ‘waves’.
All first leg runners will start together at 7pm.
