Sing Relay 2025 Results
Footpath closures at Wellington Street beach meant that this year’s Sing Relay took place from the clubrooms, with 14 committed Hawks turning up for a fun afternoon event. Interesting to see that the first three teams all finished within 7 seconds of each other! Read Sabrina’s lyrical race report below to hear how the run unfolded.
10km 2 person relay
Both team members start together. However, the faster runner runs ahead to the half way point and then turns around to meet their other runner. At the point of meeting, both runners turn around and run back to finish line the exact way they have just run. The team that takes top honours is the team that has both runners home first.

In the spirit of all of the Hairy Maclary I’ve been reading to my 5 month old…
It was a blusterous, dusterous, gusterous day. 14 happy Hawks had come out to play.
Sing relay was the name of the game, the course Lucie made was not for the tame. From an orderly line into pairs we were put, fastest at the head slowest at the foot.
There was one David, two Helen’s, of Bells there were three, off we all set with our smiles full of glee. Rhys and Peter took off fast, some were left in the dust but the twist in this race means it was definitely just.
The first of the team hits the turn around mark, best they not take the race for a lark. When they’ve run their way back to their more leisurely mate, back to the turn is the move they must make.
Winners are the pair who both cross the line, that was Helen and Charlotte they were quite sublime. Mustn’t forget our tail end team, Sunil and Leon your effort made us beam!
