The Queensland Relay Championships are on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November at QSAC. It's a fantastic opportunity to represent TEES in a team event, and one of the most enjoyable days on the calendar. Relays are for competitive and social runners alike, so don't be put off if you've never raced on the track before. Running as a team takes the pressure off, and your teammates will be cheering you every step of the way.

Keen to run? Email us at relays@teesathletics.org.au and let us know your nominated event(s) and team mates (or we'll help you find some). The club takes care of the registration process and will cover the cost of entry for competing members. In return, we ask that members compete in TEES club uniform.
With entries closing Tuesday 3 November, 9am, we ask that nominations are in by the 25th of October to give us time to compile teams and find additional runners where neccessary.
And don't forget, competitors much be registered for the current membership year.
If you have any questions please reach out to myself, or one our coaches - Carl, Gaj and Steve - at training.
Yours in running,
Wes Reed
President TEES Athletics
