“A” teams are for the fast, competitive runners. “B” teams can include those who may also compete in the A teams (depending on criteria), for those who are less competitive, and those who want to experience these relays, perhaps for the first time. If there is enough interest, we can also put out “C” teams. Events like this get our running club on the map! For the men it’s a qualifier for the National Relays two weeks later.
