The AVR Relay will go ahead…virtually! The virtual AVR Relay is now open to enter and you have until Saturday the 4th of July 23:59pm to enter. Assemble your dream team, enter for free via Entry Central https://www.entrycentral.com/AVRRelay2020 and get running! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF AVON VALLEY RUNNERS OR A RUNNING CLUB TO ENTER. The event will be raising money for the charity Shelter via this JustGiving page https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/avrrelay
Please ask your teammates to make a small donation on the page which will be posted on the Facebook event page/AVR website.

From Monday the 22nd of June to Sunday the 5th of July runners will have two weeks to complete a leg for their team. This means runners won’t be out and about all on one day! You can do this wherever you like providing that you are following the socially distancing measures. Once you have ran your leg preferably post on the Facebook event page a picture of your watch or a screenshot of your Strava/Garmin with your completed time. If you do not have access to Facebook then please email hollyjeannewman@hotmail.co.uk .Times for results will use ELASPED TIME not MOVING TIME so if you are planning to take a picture of your watch instead of a screenshot of your Strava/Garmin analysis don’t pause your watch mid run. We are trusting runners to be honest about their times!
In your team you need four legs completed of the following distances: 2.5km (1.55 miles) , 5km (3.11 miles) , 7.5km (4.66 miles) , 10km (6.21 miles)

There are category competitions which are slightly differently to previous years to try and keep things simple but also to keep things fun!
• Best team name
• Best socially distanced team picture: get creative! This could be everyone together or 4 pictures put together!
• Best picture running in fancy dress
• 1st Male Team
• 1st Female Team
• 1st Junior Team*
• 1st Mixed Team (at least one male and one female)
*All members of a junior team must be below the age of 18 on race day. Runners running the 10km leg must be 15 years old or over at the time of running the leg.

Let’s have some fun and raise money for charity: COVID-19 will not beat this race!
