RULES

Your team sets its own strategy!
Exchanges can be made at any exchange point, with any order of runners. Relay runners may run more than one segment at a time before exchanging. The three exchange points are within 200 meters of each other. The team must run the segments in order, A-B-C.

Exchange will be made with a passing of an elastic wristband. The wristband must be worn by the team member on course.

Race will be cut off at 6 hours. Any segment completed after the 6-hour mark does not count. Results will be based on the number of segments completed within the 6-hours. If two teams complete the same number of segments, the faster time will determine placing.

Water, Gatorade, and some energy food will be available at self-service aid stations located at each of the exchange points. A cooling mist tent will be available to help beat the heat.
