National Interclub Relay Classes
The National Interclub Relays will be contested between Club based teams in the following classes.
- All relay teams must include at least one female.
- Small clubs with 30 or less members may combine with another club from the same region to form a composite team. The combined team will be an official entry in the New Zealand relay.
Eligibility – The following rules apply to the National Relay Championships but they should be seen as a guide for other relay events.
The criteria that are used to determine eligibility for legs of the relay are as follows:
- The eligible age class of a competitor; ie the actual age class of the competitor. For example, a 43 year old who runs as an M21E in the long distance championship, will be eligible to run as an M40A in the relay.
- The class a competitor qualifies for; ie the class (E, A, AS, A, B or C) that was entered for in the long distance championship.
- Any competitor who runs in an A class (including AS, ie A Short) will not be eligible to run as a B class runner in the relays).
- Based on the 13 course combination tables in the current NZOF Competition Rules, the equivalence of AS runners for leg eligibility will be: M21AS = M55A, M40AS = M60A, W21AS = W55A, W40AS = W55A

|---|---|---|---|

| ML1 | Open | 30 mins | Orange |
| ML2 | No E classes, No M18A-50A, | 30 mins | Orange |
