This fun team event organised by Club member, Maria Merridan and Coach, Giles Hawthorne was held on Bank Holiday Monday 6th May. The Relay Challenge comprised of five teams of four taking on a section of the Biggleswade Green Wheel and formed part of a series of designated monthly events members can opt to do to qualify for the 2024 BAC Running League. Each section was between 2-3 miles starting from the Dan Albone car park on to Jordan's Mill following the river and then circling back to Biggleswade via King's Reach before returning to Dan Albone car park and taking in the newly-built bridge over the railway line by Shortmead House. Upon finishing everyone retreated to The Crown Hotel, Biggleswade to hear the results and partake in some well-earned post Relay refreshments! Each Team's position reflected the points awarded to each person and contributing to their League score so far - the member with the lowest overall score at the end of the year wins the League.
Team finishing positions were as follows:
1st Michael Ashiotis, Paul Cooke, Damien Pitts, Ricky Bryne
2nd Shani Giddings, Samantha Thorogood, Giles Hawthorne, Richard Hill
3rd Julie Cooke, Lynn Hill, Alistair Nelson, Ian Grimwood
4th Emma Bell, Debs Bryant, Andrew Hedley, Jackie Warren
5th Magdalena Hartley, Rachel Fairhurst, Stuart Goodwin, Natalie Morgan
