rolling. The number of loops to complete the relay is ten (10).
RELAY TEAMS: There are 4 divisions of relay teams: Two-Person or Three-Person or Four-Person or Five-Person
RELAY GUIDELINES: The relay will be a competition within each division, but there will not be so called "strict" guidelines.
Another objective of the relay event is participation and comradeship.
RELAY PROCEDURE: The "classic" procedure is for each member of the relay team to run alternate loops or "legs". Each leg is
4 miles. We suggest each relay team runs the classic or alternate relay procedure, but is not mandatory. A member of a relay
team can run "out of order" or even more legs than another team member. The only requirement is that each member of each
relay team must complete at least one leg to qualify.
FACILITIES: Suggest you come dressed to run. There will be rest rooms at the Victory Field Park House. But they may not be
open until 8:00 AM. For pre-race facilities, you may have to use the woods. There will be restrooms on the course loop.
