Event Overview
The Criterium Relay is a time-based running relay held on ANZAC Day, Saturday 25 April 2026, at the Nundah Criterium Circuit in Nundah, Queensland. Adult racing runs from 3:30pm with teams of 1–5 covering as much distance as possible in 90 minutes, one runner or walker on the circuit at a time. A 45-minute Active Kids relay for teams of three starts at 2:30pm. The lap length is listed as 1.2km.
What the Course Demands
The event is built around repeated laps, so pacing and smooth changeovers matter as much as speed. With only one participant per team on the circuit at a time, teams need clear rotation and consistent lap execution across the full 90 minutes (or 45 minutes for Active Kids). Minimum lap requirements apply for duo and larger adult teams, and timing is managed via a device worn during the relay.
Who This Event Suits Best
This relay suits runners who prefer short, repeatable efforts and enjoy team-based strategy within a defined time window. It works well for clubs, workplace groups, and mixed-ability teams because the format allows different stints across the afternoon. The individual adult option suits athletes who want a contained 90-minute run with lap-based feedback, while the kids relay offers a simple entry point for juniors aged 7+.
