A few people have asked this week about things you need to bring with you. Your team needs two very important things. One is a team baton - this is something that your team members can pass to each other when they walk the track. Your baton is the thing that you need to carry around the track for 24 hours. We've seen so many different things over the years - from hats to caterpillars to cardboard FA Cups. It's up to you what you bring, but it should show off what your team is all about - and be easy to carry!
The other is a banner. You'll use this to mark out your territory - put it in the ground near your camping plot so that everyone knows who you are when they walk around the track. Ideally, as well as giving your team name it might have a cancer awareness message too. These banners are carried by teams on their first lap around the track, so bring yours to the front of the stage with you when you come along to the opening ceremony at 12 noon on Saturday.
