The idea of the relay is for teams to complete a relay-style walk or run where team members take turns to keep their baton moving for 24 hours.
There is a great atmosphere at the relay created through entertainment, camping, spot prizes and most importantly the vibrancy of the hundreds of lively people on the track!
