Relay Running Baton, Aluminium Relay Batons Sporting Goods Running Relay Batons Track and Field Relay Batons Sticks, for Track and Field Outdoor Field Race Tools (4 Assorted Colors)

I bought these to use for PE class with my students for relay races. Received quickly and serve their purpose. No complaints.

These are so fun for impromptu get-togethers with kids. A little friendly competition always gets the party going and these help do just that. Even the dog gets in on the racing. We have used these for several parties and plan to use in our own "family Olympic games" next summer.

The HNJZX batons are perfect for my relay-running boys to practice handoffs with the official weight and size they'll be using in competition. Nice rolled edges keep these metal bars comfortable (and safe!), and the aluminum construction means the batons won't get too hot when left out on a sunny infield. Excellent!

These are very lightweight and colorful batons—in fact, TOO lightweight. Mine arrived, literally, in a plastic bag. And, that was not enough protection. Two were severely crushed on the ends, and I had to order a replacement set (which arrived with no issue). While these won’t weigh your runners down, they are also not going to stand up to much dropping or anything else, either. I recommend you look for something a little heavier and a lot more durable. I cannot recommend these.

I used these with a large group of kids to show them how to run a relay and they were a hit! I haven’t compared them, but they appear to be longer, slimmer, and more brightly colored than your traditional batons. That is great for kids because their hands are smaller and length leaves less room for error. The bright colors are also more fun to look at. I would definitely recommend these for coaches to use with less experienced runners, P.E. teachers, or for field days!

You get 4 batons of the type used in Track for running relays. Here's the problem: You can't actually use these in a U.S. High School Track meet, as the batons are too skinny. I'm a licensed official for high school track & field and these batons aren't wide enough to meet the standard. Batons must be between 4 and 5 inches in diameter to be legal for competition and these come in at just 3.5 inches.You could probably use these in most U.S. states for a middle school meet, as they typically do not have established standards, but why would you? Middle school track should help prepare an athlete for high school and there's no compelling reason to have significantly skinnier batons in middle school (every middle school meet I've seen has used the same batons as the high schools).These are really only useful for running random relays just for fun in non-track sports (I may use these for some games with my cross country team in the fall) - or if you were using them in a gym class, particularly in elementary school. But that's really all that they are going to be useful for.

Get ready to pass the torch with sheer satisfaction, thanks to these Relay Running Batons. The sleek design and comfortable grip make handoffs a breeze, ensuring seamless transitions between runners. The durable construction guarantees long-lasting performance, and the vibrant colors add a dash of excitement to the race. These batons have elevated our team's performance, fostering a sense of unity and competitive spirit.

My wife has used these in her elementary school gym and they have held up well, so far. They have been dropped dozens of times and have not suffered any significant dings, yet. The kids love that they are lightweight and they love the bright colors. I don't know how well they will hold up on asphalt or cinder tracks, but they have worked well in her gym.
