Celebrating Inclusivity with the Relay Your Way Baton


From Swansea’s Copper Heritage to a 2,500km Relay: The Story of the Relay Your Way Baton

The Relay Your Way baton is not just a relay baton - it’s a powerful statement of inclusion, innovation, and adventure. Designed and created by the Cerebra Innovation Centre team, including design engineer Gerallt Devonald and electronics engineer Reuben Wheeldon, this baton is built to be fully accessible, ensuring that everyone can take part in Britain’s most inclusive relay.

Featuring an incredible interactive light display and adaptable accessories, the baton can be carried, rolled, cycled, or transported in any way that suits the participant. It has been designed with a deep understanding of accessibility, making sure no one is left behind.

Adding to its significance, the baton’s striking copper elements pay homage to Swansea’s rich industrial heritage as a centre of copper production. This historical connection ties the baton to a story of resilience, transformation, and progress—echoing the very spirit of Relay Your Way.

As the baton travels 2,500km across the UK, it will unite thousands of people in a shared mission: to champion inclusivity and raise awareness of the challenges and rights of disabled young people. Relay Your Way isn’t about being the fastest or the fittest—it’s about breaking barriers, celebrating diversity, and ensuring that no one ever has to ask, “Can I take part?”

Join the journey, pass the baton, and help us make history.
