How does the relay team work? How do I get back to the finish line?
Relay teams must designate one person to run the first half of the race. The person running the second half will then be transported to the midway line by race staff. When the relay partner arrives, either a timing chip or bracelet is exchanged, and the second runner finishes the race. The first runner is then transported back to the finish line.
