The race comprises 6 laps of approximately 1.3 miles per lap, run clockwise around the outside of Sidmouth Wood, starting and finishing opposite Pembroke Lodge. Teams of three runners, comprising a “fast”, a “medium” and a “slow” runner will be selected, from the runners who have entered the race, by the Club Handicapper. He will aim to put together teams of more or less equal overall speed. The fast runner runs three laps, the medium two laps and the slow one lap of the course. The running order is at the discretion of each team.
