Relay Teams:

4 person relay teams are available.

Each Relay Team member will receive a bib with your team name on it.  None of these bibs will have the timing chip attached to it.  Your team will also receive ONE timing bib.  This timing bib will be attached to a belt and will have a timing chip attached to the back.  This belt will have to be passed & worn by each member of the team while running their respective legs.  For example, if you are running “Leg 1”, you will wear the belt with the timing bib and after you are done with your leg, you will then pass it to your team member who is running “Leg 2”, etc.  Whoever is running the final leg needs to be wearing this belt to be sure that your team time registers at the finish line.  The race belts must be handed in at the Finish Line.
