AXA Youth relay
News – new leg order and two teams per district
In connection with the opening of O-Ringen Halland 2012, Saturday July 21st 2012, a youth relay will take place.
Once again all talented juniors will have the chance to compete in front of a large audience. And we hope for an exciting competition and an action-packed fight between the world's juniors. The relay will also this year have a strong international touch, as the number of national teams is steadily increasing.
The start and the finish of the relay will be situated at the Arena Landalasjön in the middle of the O-Ringen Town, Galgberget, Halmstad.
Classes
One class, girls and boys mixed, the legs are to be run as follows:
Leg 1: Girls up to and including D16

The team may consist of Nordic district teams, or "national teams" for non-Nordic youth. It is permitted to participate with two teams per district or country.
