Endurance Run
Each team has to run around a course of 150m (see figure above) from a given starting point. Each team member tries to run around the course as often as possible in 8 minutes. The start command is set for all teams at the same time (by blowing a whistle or by starting pistol, etc.).
Each member of the team starts with one card (ball, piece of paper, cork or similar) which he/she has to take back to his/her team after each completion of a round on the course, and before starting again, he/she takes a new card or similar, and so on. After 7 minutes, the last minute is announced by another blow of a whistle or by starting pistol. After 8 minutes the completion of the run is indicated by a final signal.
