New for 2023 and by popular demand is the “Leapfrog Relay”, the concept is unashamedly pinched from the Bob Graham’s Billy Bland Challenge and is open to teams of 4 or 8, so either one or two persons per leg. The relay is restricted to anti-clockwise rounds only and all the normal safety and biosecurity caveats apply, we will accept submissions from Mens, Ladies or Mixed teams. There are a few simple extra rules to observe:
The same person(s) who completes the run section of the leg MUST ALSO do the swim section. So, taking leg 1 as an example whoever starts from the Moot Hall and does the Skiddaw leg will also be required to swim Bassenthwaite, handing over to leg 2 contenders at Beck Wythop and so on. No “ringers” allowed for the swim sections!
Wetsuits and all kit must be carried on the fell by the contenders themselves, so picking up a wetsuit prior to your swim is definitely not an option - assuming you’re going to be using one of course (which we recommend)
Register your team as you would for a normal Frog Graham Round attempt via the Registration Page and upon successful completion please send your ratification package to secretary@froggrahamround.co.uk, this means either a single .gpx file covering your whole attempt (i.e. if you passed a hand-held GPS device over as a baton) or four separate .gpx files. You will also be required to complete a ratification form detailing your split and overall times, you can download that via the link below.
