Loyal staff running with baton in team-building exercise (7,8)

I believe the answer is:

fantasy football

'team-building exercise' is the definition.

'loyal staff running with baton' is the wordplay.
'running with' indicates an anagram.
'loyal'+'staff'='loyalstaff'
'loyalstaff' anagrammed with 'baton' gives 'FANTASY FOOTBALL'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Another definition for fantasy football that I've seen is " management game".)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
