Beach

Beach events are held on the sand and included events such as Beach Sprint where competitors race on a straight sand course of approximately 70 - 90metres to the finishing line.

Beach events include events such as:

• Beach sprint - competitors race on a straight sand course of approximately 70 - 90metres to the finishing line.
• Beach relay - teams of 4 competitors race on a straight sand course of approximately 70 - 90metres with a baton, running one lap each. The final runner of a team over the finish line wins.
• Beach flags - competitors start lying on their stomach facing away from a baton/s buried in the sand approximately 15 - 20 metres away. There are always fewer batons than competitors. On the starting gun, competitors rise, turn and race to secure a baton. The competitor(s) who fail to obtain a baton are eliminated. The process repeats until there is a single winner.
• 2km Beach run - competitors race on a sand course in four laps of 500metres to total approximately 2km.
