RELAY

Relay Rules:
- 2-6 Runners per team.
- ONE BIB will be given out for the team to share. (A BIB BELT is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, as each relay team will need to exchange the bib belt between loops & run with it the entire loop for the loop to count.)
- Members may run back-to-back loops. However, they still must check in at the finish line each loop.
- If a member isn't able to make it OR a member has a substitute, we will not be able to edit the members of that team, so the member who originally registered will still appear as part of the team. It is still ok if someone runs in their place.
