Relay Information

The relay is run as five (5) seperate legs, all of them roughly 10km (6.2mi) in length. 

Teams of 2-5 may transition, and receive aid, at the designated exchanges only.

Each participant will have their own individual bib number; no particular order is required, ensure the finishing bib is shown at the completion of each 10km section. 

The route is entirely on the beach shoreline, except for a short section at the west end of the seawall, otherwise stay on the sand.

There is no physical baton. Exchange to the next runner with a high five / fist bump / hug or some other creative hand-off.

Runners may run back-to-back legs (complete sections).

Bib Check: Volunteers will record bib numbers at each exchange point. Each member will have their own bib number. At each aid station a volunteer will record your bib number with a photo, make sure they can see your bib number on the front. This photo and timing split will automatically load to the results page for live tracking at each split and be your individual leg result.

Course Logistics

Relay teams should plan their own transport, there will be no transportation provided between transition points. One vehicle should be plenty enough to leap frog down the course as one runner completes a leg at a time.

Additional vehicles can be parked at the East Beach venue (finish).

Only one vehicle per team per exchange point at a time.

Relay teams should plan to be at the start line, at the San Luis Pass Beach Access, by 7 AM for the sunrise 7:20 AM start time. Please do not block the bus access.

WARNING: Watch for cyclists and other road users when driving between exchanges. No speeding, you have plenty of time to get to the next point. Race is not responsible for tickets or towing. Park in designated spots only. It's a busy weekend on the island, please be careful. The race is not an excuse to break any rules/laws.
