AAI Relay Festival 2026 Event Info

The Inaugural Athletics Auckland Relay Festival is being held at #2 Arena Mt Smart on the last Saturday in January.

This is a great opportunity for Clubs and Schools to give their sprint, distance, and field event athletes experience at a variety of relays.

All the Track Relays will be mixed events, to enable as many Clubs as possible to enter teams.  Composite teams are also welcome, so Clubs can combine forces to enter composite teams if there are insufficient male or female athletes in a particular grade available from their own membership base.

There are four Field Relays with separate competitions for male and female, the teams comprised of three athletes.

Entry fees:  $12.00 per relay team

Grades: U16, U18, U20, Senior, Masters 35-49, Masters 50+

At the Festival athletes can compete both in their own grade and also one grade up, to enable greater participation.
