The National Road Relays in Sutton Park, Birmingham are one of the biggest highlights of the UK road racing calendar. Bringing together clubs from across the country, the relays are a true test of teamwork, tactics and speed – with the best club runners in the nation battling it out on the road.

Each team is made up of athletes running individual legs over a looped course, with distances varying depending on age group and event. It’s fast, competitive and packed with atmosphere, as hundreds of runners and supporters line Sutton Park to cheer on their clubs.

For many, the relays are more than just a race – they’re a chance to be part of the club spirit, test yourself against the best, and represent Portsmouth Athletic Club on a national stage.
