RACE WEEKEND LOGISTICS

DESCRIPTIONThe relay consists of two five mile legs.

1st LEG- Start is at the P10 Start/ Finish line at the Festival Grounds at 8:00 AM.2nd LEG- At the five mile mark within Mercer County College. There will be a “Relay Corral” at the five mile mark. This is also finish for 1st leg. 1st leg runners will cross a timing mat as they enter the Relay Corral to register the finish time for their leg of the relay. 2nd leg runners will exit the corral at the opposite end and will cross a timing mat to record their start time.

TRANSPORTATION 2nd leg runners will be transported to the Relay Corral via shuttle busses. The shuttles will pick up directly outside the Skating Center at the Festival Grounds. Shuttles to the relay corral will leave at 7:45 SHARP. 1st leg runners DO NOT take the shuttle.

1st leg runners will take the shuttles from MCC to return to start/ finish. Return shuttles will be staged near the Relay Corral and will begin return operation at approximately 9am (or once first shuttle is full). The return shuttle will drop on the main park road in front of the Mercer County Park Tennis Center (adjacent to the Skating Center).

Return shuttles will run until 10:15am.

You may also drive to the relay corral. There is a parking lot right at the Relay Corral location.

BOSOM BUDDY RELAYINSTRUCTIONS

BATON EXCHANGERelay runners will use a baton to hand off to their buddy. The 1st runner MUST be carrying the baton at all times. When the first runners enters the Relay Corral they will find their team mate (there will be overhead signs with corresponding BIB #s to assist in finding your team mates in the corral) and hand the baton to runner#2. Runner #2 will exit the Relay Corral at the opposite end and will cross the timing mat to start her time.

RESULTS AND AWARDSRelay awards will be given to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place overall. The award time will be based on GUN TIME (the start of the race) and will be calculated based on the cumulative time from the official race start until the time the 2nd leg participant crosses finish.

There will also be times recorded and scored for each leg of the race. There will not be awards for the individual legs, only for the overall relay competition.

Medical Emergency – in the event of an medical emergency you will be either treated at the Medical Tent at the finish line or transported to the local hospital.
