SIGN UP NOW for Relay Training at Lady Dixon Park on Saturday 14 March, from 10am–2pm.
If you’ve got your eye on the relays at the Jan Kjellström International Festival of Orienteering (JK) and the Irish Orienteering Championships, this is the session you don’t want to miss.
Philip Baxter is bringing the full relay experience to Lady Dixon Park — speed, chaos, pressure, and that all-important handover.
💥 The Plan
🔁 Long(ish) Mass Start Session
Nothing like the sound of punching units beeping in unison during a stampede to the first control. Practice staying sharp when everyone’s around you.
🧩 Baffled Legs
Forking, pressure, decision-making. Can you stay focused when others peel off in different directions?
🏁 Proper 3-Person Relay (Very Short Courses)
We finish with the real thing:
- Mass start
- Proper handover
- Full relay atmosphere
- Short, sharp, high-intensity legs
It’s all about simulating race-day pressure so that when it counts, you’re calm, fast, and clinical. We’re aiming to do seriously well this season, and strong relay performances start here.
