Sri Chinmoy Tan Team Relays
Sunday, 23 November 2025
Pillars of Wisdom, Melbourne, VIC
The Sri Chinmoy Tan Team Relays consists of 11 laps (42.1km) of the Tan Track in Melbourne, Victoria on 23 November 2025.
The race consists of 11 laps (42.1km) of the Tan in teams of 4 members. Each team will be given a baton to carry. Team members carry the baton while running and pass it to the next team member in the transition zone at the Pillars of Wisdom. The only rules of the race are that the baton must be exchanged every lap and each runner must run a minimum of two laps. A team can be all male, all female or mixed (at least 1 male and 1 female per mixed team).
Why 11 laps? It is almost exactly the marathon distance. Plus it also makes it interesting for teams to work out a strategy for covering the distance. The timing chip will be attached to the baton as a way of keeping track of laps.
Individuals can also compete in the 11 laps (42.1km), 3 laps (11.48km) and 1 lap (3.83km) races. This is a great fun and social event on Melbourne's most iconic running trail.
