Rogers Coastal Relay 2026 – social event

👥 Members and guests
🤔 Relay romp over the cliffs – think cross-country with a sea view for a lot of it – early legs are along the clifftop and may be close to the edge!

🗓 11 May 2025
📍Start – The Valiant Sailor (it’s recently closed, but we will gather there), Capel Le Ferne
🏁 Lilyroos, Sandwich Rd, Deal
⏰ 0800h meet to collect entry cash and for briefing, then a 1 minute silence to remember absent friends and family – 0830h start for the first team
🕖 The race is handicapped – any team can win so you don’t need to be fast. Teams are set off at their handicap time so you in theory all finish at the same time
⏳ Your teams start time will be based on your combined recent 5k time. Please appoint a team Captain who will forward these times (we will be checking these!), your team members names, and your team name on the Form (to follow) BY 27 APRIL
🤡👰👗 running friendly fancy dress encouraged 😉
🏃🏼‍♀🏃🏼‍♂ 4 per team – must be 1 Deal Tri member per team – if you want to take part but don’t have a team, let Simon or Sue know and we will find one
↔ each leg is between 1.7 and 3 miles – each member will run in the starting order, twice – the first runner will run 3 times
🧭 each team will be given directions, but the run has self navigational routes
🚗 A driver must pick up and drop off each runner at (or close to) the handover points (some are not accessible by car!), hopefully before the previous runner finishes their le
🩱🦇 each team must have an item that is passed from the incoming run to the outgoing runner. Past items have included a toy De Lorean and a rubber chicken – you get the idea!
🏆 Awards to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd team of 4 in. Others may wish to run in a team of 3 or 2 or even alone but this fundamentally is a team event so will not qualify for an award, although all times are recorded.
😋 Lillyroos lay on a BBQ for you (meat or veggie) with a coffee or tea at the finish, approx 1200/1230h – and the bar will be open too!
💰 £TBC members (Deal Tri subsidise the rest of the cost), £TBC guests – numbers for food (runners plus any guests) need to be in BY 4 MAY
