Hokum Karem relay

A Hokum Karem is a "relay" style cross country race.  There will be a 1 km loop and an exchange zone that the athletes will enter from the back and leave from the front.  The exchange is a simple "high-5 / tag your teammate" and the next runner runs their loop.

• • 2-person teams - boy, girl and co-ed

  • Each athlete alternates laps with their teammate

  • 8 & under: each athlete runs two 1K loops; 4K total

  • 9+: each athlete runs three 1K loops, 6K total

  • We can mix and match genders and ages. We can even make teams with other clubs or unattached athletes as needed. The age-division is determined by the oldest member of the 2-person team.

  • Don't be concerned if we have an odd number of runners; we'll find someone you can run with

  • They may run various age divisions and genders in one race, with results being collated separately

  • Each team member will have a bib number; only one team member will cross the finish line, the team member who runs the last leg

  • Team members can decide among themselves (or, with a coach's help) the order in which they run

  • Coaches will "declare" their co-ed teams prior to race so they can be scored separately

Award Medals

Results (and awards) will be available approximately 30 minutes after the completion of each race. The timing crew tabulates the results from each previous race as the next race is underway.  Unforeseen circumstances (lost bib # numbers, athletes running in wrong race) may affect the amount of time needed to prepare these results.

Each member of an award-winning 2-person team receives a medal.
