A Mathematical Analysis of the 4 X 100 M Relay
Journal of Sports Sciences, 2002, 20, 369± 381 A mathematical analysis of the 4 ´ 100 m relay A.J. WARD-SMITH and P.F. RADFORD* Department of Sport Sciences, Brunel University, Osterley Campus, Borough Road, Isleworth, Middlesex TW7 5DU, UK Accepted 19 November 2001 In this study, we examined aspects of the 4 ´ 100 m relay that are amenable to mathematical analysis. We looked at factors that aþ ect the time required to complete the relay, focusing on the performance of elite male athletes. Factors over which the individual athletes, and the team coach, can exercise some control are: the starting positions of the runners on legs 2, 3 and 4, the positions at which baton exchanges occur, the free distances at the baton exchanges and the running order of the athletes. The lane draw is shown to have an important in¯ uence on the relay time, although it is outside the control of the team coach. Teams drawn in the outside lanes bene® t from the inverse relation between bend radius of curvature and running speed. For teams composed of athletes with diþ erent times over 100 m, we show that the fastest relay times are achieved with the fastest athlete taking the ® rst leg, with the slowest two runners allocated to the ® nal two legs. Keywords: athletics, running, sprinting. Introduction allowance is made for bend curvature in the layout of the starting lines, which are staggered across the eight The aim of this study was to examine aspects of the lanes of the track. These rules eþ ectively determine the 4 ´ 100 m relay that are amenable to mathematical distances run by the runners on each of the four legs.

10Th ANNUAL KEYS 100 ULTRAMARATHON Bob Becker, Race Director
10th ANNUAL KEYS 100 ULTRAMARATHON Bob Becker, Race Director The “10th Annual” KEYS100. When five of us ran the length of the Keys in 2007 to see if a 100-mile race might be possible across all those islands, I could not imagine that we would come this far. In these past ten years since the first actual race in 2008, we’ve seen participation in our sport of ultramarathon running expand exponentially throughout Florida, with a proliferation of ultra-distance races every month of the year. Today, nearly all runners, from 5k to the marathon, actually know what an “ultra” is, which was not the case just a short time ago. Our sport has traditionally been identified with trail running, mostly in the American west. The number of ultramarathon road races—especially of 100 miles or longer—is very limited throughout the country. But today, at many trail and road ultramarathons around the country, Florida runners are frequently the second or third largest contingent, a real testament to how far the sport has come right here at home in just these few years. KEYS100 has grown, too, from 131 runners in 2008 to more than a thousand each of the past three years. We run 100 miles as individuals or in teams, plus individual races of 50 miles and 50 kilometers (31 miles). On May 20-21, 2017, bike paths, pedestrian bridges, the parallel “old road” and some miles along the Overseas Highway road shoulder from Key Largo to Key West contained some real movers and shakers, outstanding athletes making their way towards the finish line on Higgs Beach.

The Using of Modern Technologies in Orienteering
The using of modern technologies in orienteering Michal Frainšic1, Petr Špicar2, Ludmila Fialová2 1 Department of Outdoor activities, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic 2 Department of Pedagogy, Psychology and Didactics of sport, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Char- les University, Prague, Czech Republic Abstract The article deals with introduction and contribution of modern technologies used in a sport branch of ori- enteering sports in comparison with the past when these technologies were not used. Modern technologies contributed to expansion of orienteering sports. They made this branch of sport more attractive for both - com- petitors and spectators. Facilities like SPORTident, Trac-Trac, Emit and Racom transfered on-line results from race to competitors and spectators, who are in the race center. Thanks to those facilities spectators can also watch the race on-line on TV or on the Internet. Program OCAD made the preparation of orienteering maps and tracks faster and more effective. Modern technologies also speeded up the process of race preparation. Key words Emit, OCAD, Oorg, Open Orienteering Mapper, Purple Pen, Orienteering organiser, orienteering, orientee- ring sports, Racom, SPORTident, Trac-Trac. Souhrn Článek se věnuje představení a přínosu moderních technologií využívaných ve sportovních odvětvích orien- tačních sportů v porovnání s dobou minulou, kdy tyto technologie ještě využívány nebyly. Moderní technolo- gie se zasloužily o rozvoj orientačních sportů, toto sportovní odvětví zatraktivnily a to jak závodníkům, tak i široké veřejnosti. Zařízení SPORTident, Trac-Trac, Emit a Racom přináší okamžité výsledky a umožňují on-line přenosy výsledků trenérům, závodníkům na shromaždišti či divákům u televizní obrazovky.

The Hammpions
2019 Relay Team Profile: The Hammpions For two brothers from a family that loves running, the opportunity has finally arrived to team up as a duo for a popular long-distance relay race. Later this month, John and Paul Crowe will run the 50 miles of the Tussey mOUnTaiNBACK 50 Mile Relay and Ultramarathon as a two-person relay team. Both grew up in State College. John Crowe now lives in Pittsburgh and Paul Crowe lives in Milford, NJ. “This is our first time doing the Mountainback,” said John Crowe. “Our dad has always been involved in some capacity, whether hosting runners or competing on teams, so it has always been on our radar.” It’s pretty well known in the local running community that Crowes are not the type to shrink from a challenge. Their father, Rob Crowe, has run numerous races over the years, including the Boston Marathon, and still actively races in the local community. Their mother, Sue, was a standout runner, including multiple wins at the Nittany Valley Arts Festival race. But this kind of race is often out of bounds for students who run for cross country or track teams. “Unfortunately we never had the opportunity to participate in it while we were in high school and college,” said John Crowe. “Now that we are both trying to get back into running competitively again, this seemed like the perfect race to do together.” The course’s 12 segments on the roads of Rothrock State Forest are of unequal length and difficulty, so when these two runners switch back and forth to run every other segment, one will run a total of about 22 and the other about 28 miles.

2021 handbook 1 #HTC21 WELCOME TO THE MOTHER OF ALL RELAYS An event in the making for the history books; these 18 months have showed us all our tenacity and ability to work together for the greater good and will continue to show us our surprising strengths amongst how this pandemic affected us all. This 39th adventure from the pinnacle of Mount Hood to the Pacific Ocean beaches has undeniably advanced from its humble beginnings in 1982, with eight teams of friends. Originally with hand-drawn course maps, no porta-potties or permits, and a beach party on picnic tables; HTC has evolved! Yet we all understand at its essence, the core has remained unchanged. Each of us continues to believe in the spirit of adventure, camaraderie, teamwork, perseverance, and the natural beauty that make Hood To Coast the storied event it continues to be today. Our family and friends’ struggles with melanoma and other forms of cancer have given the Relay a higher purpose as well. Scientific breakthroughs are delivering results at the Providence Cancer Institute, considered one of the top cancer research and treatment centers in the nation. The Providence Cancer Institute is at the forefront of immunotherapy, and helping this world-class institute improve the lives of residents with cancer, while strengthening the health of our communities. We hope each of you will share in this passion by supporting the cause: shorturl.at/qxCLP OUR TOP PRIORITY IS PRESERVING PARTICIPANT/VOLUNTEER SAFETY AS WE ENSURE: • Non-vaccinated participants are required to carry face-coverings and utilize them within six-feet of other participants, while running or walking their assigned legs.

Track Events Packet # 17
© Advantage Press, Inc. TRACK EVENTS PACKET # 17 INSTRUCTIONS This Learning Packet has two parts: (1) text to read and (2) questions to answer. The text describes a particular sport or physical activity, and relates its history, rules, playing techniques, scoring, notes and news. The Response Forms (questions and puzzles) check your understanding and appreciation of the sport or physical activity. INTRODUCTION Track events are closely related to À eld events. This packet will deal with À ve traditional track events: the dash, the steeplechase, the hurdle, the relay race and the distance race. Running as a sport did not become popular in America until 1871, when the À rst track meet was held in New York City. Eventually, track and À eld events became so popular that the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletics in America (ICAAAA) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association NCAA) were organized to govern/oversee these events and the rules that control them. HISTORY OF TRACK SPORTS Early human beings were forced by their environment to run. They both ran after animals when hunting for food, and ran from other animals who were themselves hungry. This run- ning consisted of jumping over bushes, fallen trees, ditches and other obstacles. Hunting and gathering techniques were taken into battle as skirmishes between tribes made survival important. In between hunting parties and wars, running and jumping became leisure-time activities that people chose to do as athletic events. Sometimes the object was to compete against others; at other times, the athlete simply wanted to test himself or herself. Running events were recorded in Greece as early as 776 B.C.
