HOW DO WE SIGN UP A TEAM?
Signing up a team is easy. The first member of each team will register and create the team name. Each team member thereafter will sign up and JOIN the team. Team members are signing up similar to individuals, except they will be on a team. The reason we do this is there is a specific cost per participant. Each relay participant is also scored as an individual in the 10k results with individual awards. For example if you run the fastest 10k net split in the relay, you will be awarded 1st place. If you are running more than one leg your first leg is counted for overall individual awards.

• 7:30am Start – 1st runners for each team will line up at the start.
• All relay team members must run a minimum of 1 x 10K loop.
• AGE GRADED: All team times will be calculated based on Age and Gender to even the teams out performance wise.  The fastest team may not be the winner.
• Team captain, or 1 individual from the team, must be responsible to pick up the team packet.  Team bibs, shirts, camping passes, batons, and add on items will be in one bag for one person to pick up. Make sure it's a responsible person.
• All relay teams members will have their own personal bib associated with their name and age. You must wear your bib and also carry your team’s baton.
• All relay teams must wear the bib they are issued.  Each person on each team gets 1 bib.  You can run in ANY ORDER you choose, but you must wear your bib and have your baton.
  
• Your relay baton is your team's timing chip. You must carry your baton the entire race and hand it off to the next person. Your baton must cross the checkpoint and finish line. If you lose your baton, you are disqualified.
• Aid Stations – There is one aid station around the half way point with Water, Gatorade, Gels and Bananas. The 2nd Aid Station would be the event camp site.

RELAY RULES
1. There is no specific order your team has to run, however the first person from each team will need to check in your team before the race start.
2. Each team has a baton, you must complete the race with your baton.
3. Each runner's first leg will count toward their overall 10K time.  For example if you are running 2 legs of the relay, legs 1 and 6, your first leg will be the one that counts toward the 10K overall results (even if 6 is faster).
4. Each runner must run with a chipped bib and their team's baton.
5. Handicaps will be added to the team's times throughout the day.  The lower the handicap, the more time off the team will receive at the end.  For example 89 means 89% of the overall time:).
6. Any changes to your team must be submitted prior to the race or your team is subject to DQ.

SO WE ARE DRINKING AND RUNNING?

Yup! Have you every run a relay?  Well, that's exactly how it works. Teams of up to four people will be running 2.5k laps each (about a mile and a half), through the woods at Brown's Creek  Before each lap participants will have the option to drink a shot of liquor (provided by Cape Fear Distillery) to get a 1:00 minute deduction of their finish time. Not a drinker? No problem, you get a shot of apple cider vinegar. Again, Run solo, with your best friend, or on a team of three or four people to complete the 10k course. Liquor option only available for those 21 and older.

You will be required to hold a relay baton during your relay leg.

SWAG

The race is bare bones in regards to participant cost. I mean, we are launching a trail race in the middle of a pandemic so we are tracking the orbit of our budget. It makes it tough to accurately predict how many people are comfortable attending as this as we exit the pandemic, and thus it makes it tough to fulfill orders that need to be made months in advance. (Talk about "boldly going where no man has gone before.") So we are offering a limited supply of high quality Without Limit's brand shirts and sweatshirts available for sale at an additional cost during checkout. Next year we will look to adjust pricing so participants can get swag included.

Brown's Creek Nature Park.  Amazing single track, hilly, non-technical terrain. Hardwoods, pines, creeks, and fields.

From MTB Project: "Just off of Hwy 87, Brown's Creek Bike Park and Nature Trail is located in Elizabethtown, NC. Brown's Creek has features that are extraordinary for the region. Just under 13 miles, Brown's Creek is a great flow trail with hills that will make you think you are in the foothills of the mountains when faced with challenging climbs, fast drops, and creek crossings. Annually, Brown's Creek is the host site of many fundraisers and races for mountain bikers, trail runners, and hikers that want to test ones skills or to just enjoy what Brown's Creek has to offer."

From Singletracks: "Basically Brown's Creek has everything you're looking for in a  trail... less than a mile away from beautiful downtown Elizabethtown and minutes away from White Lake."
