Organiser: Sri Chinmoy Melbourne
The Sri Chinmoy Tan Team Relays is a dynamic running event held on Sunday, 23 November 2025, at the Pillars of Wisdom, Melbourne, Victoria. This relay race features teams of four completing 11 laps around the iconic Tan Track, covering the full marathon distance of 42.1 km.
Each team receives a baton that runners carry and pass in the designated transition zone at the Pillars of Wisdom. The race rules require that the baton be exchanged after every lap and that each team member runs a minimum of two laps. Teams may be all male, all female, or mixed, with mixed teams requiring at least one male and one female runner.
The 11-lap format reflects the marathon distance and introduces strategic elements for teams to optimize their performance. A timing chip attached to the baton tracks each lap accurately.

Melbourne Social Walks - Hiking and Camping
I’ve been organising these for years so I’ve learnt a thing or two on what makes a good social group. Engagement is everything. There are loads of hiking groups that exist in Victoria alone but rarely utilitised.
EVERY fortnight without fail there is a hike. New people are always welcome.
