RELAY TEAMS
RELAY TEAM INFORMATION
Relay teams will begin with a staggered start at 6:00 AM. All relay runners should be back to the finish line by 12:30 PM.
Typically, a 6-person team is the standard, but teams can add or subtract runners as needed. Some teams may have as few as two runners (often for marathon training), while others may have up to 30 runners. The more runners, the more fun for the team!
SPEED UP RULE
If your team falls behind during the race, you’ll need to "leap frog" a runner to catch back up. This means that while a current runner is on their leg, you should send the next runner ahead to start from their designated spot, then wait for the current runner to finish before picking them up. Keep repeating this process until you catch up to the race pace or are able to ensure a 12:30 PM finish time.
MANDATORY SPEED UP
If your team hasn’t reached the airport by 10:45 AM or Shalimar Elementary School by 11:30 AM, a speed-up is mandatory to ensure timely completion.
