The Relay(s)
The Relay takes place on the same Course as the Half Marathon and Full Marathon & the Relay Half Marathon - starting at the same time 11.00am.
Each Relay team will be given ONE timing chip at Registration on Friday or Saturday which the first person on Leg 1 will wrap around his/ her ankle. When they reach the person on Leg 2 they will pass the timing chip to them. Similarly Leg 2 will pass timing chip to Leg 3 person. He/ she will attach it to their ankle.
The above applies to a 3 person relay team.
4 person relay teams will do the same at Leg 4.
Note: Timing chips should be attached just above the ankle (i.e. not in your hand) otherwise it may not register a time at Finish.
Also note if you don’t finish with the timing chip you will not get an official finishers time for the team.
