Shaw Baton fastest teams and individuals
The Shaw Baton has been held at Battle Hill Farm Forest Park since 1994. This page records the fastest teams and individuals on this course each year by grade. Mixed grades are not included. Individual times do not include individuals running out of grade. Times cannot be compared between years due to varying conditions and slight changes in the course. If two individuals ran the same fastest time then both indivuals are recorded in this list, unless the times were both recorded on lap 1 in which case the first individual across the line is recorded.
