Kit Pick Up

There will be a separate area for team kit pick-up. Send one team representative to pick up the kit, computer chip, baton and patches. This representative will be responsible for getting the numbers, chip and patches to the team members.

Relay kit pickup will be held at the same time, date and place as those listed in the registration section.

Race Day

Team members are responsible for getting themselves to their relay start points, one runner each at the starting line, the 2, 4, 6 and 8 mile marker relay gates and back to the finish line once their leg is completed.

Look for the balloons at the exchange points. This point will be along the curb side of the road. Please try to position yourself as close to the curb as possible before approaching the exchange area. We ask that parents and other team members position themselves outside the area to avoid confusion and congestion.

It's important that runners remain courteous to other entrants. Look over your shoulder as you enter the exchange area. Do not cut off or impede other runners. Remove yourself from the exchange area as soon as you have handed off your baton.

The teams will be given one timing chip. The final [fifth] runner of the team must wear the chip. Cross the main finish line with all the runners in the event. There will not be a separate finish line for the relay teams. Failure of the final runner to wear the chip may result in your team not receiving a time and place.

Please ensure you include all team member names, the school, the team name and the contact person [coach] and phone number on the registration form. Think safety at all times. There may be service and emergency vehicles on the route and road crossings of which you must remain aware. BE CAREFUL!  Follow the directions of the volunteers and the police.

We look forward to seeing you in May and welcome any suggestions you have to make the event better at relays@10mileroadrace.org.
