Relay Teams
Participants have the option to enter varying distances as a relay team, consisting of 2–3 individuals. Teams may elect which person will complete each specific discipline. Team members share a single timing chip, which is passed from one team member to another in transition. While not all relay teams are competitive by nature, the top 3 performing teams are eligible for competitive awards. Relay teams are subdivided into these groups:
- Female
- Male
- Co-Ed (mixed gender teams)
ALL team members must be in Transition at 5:15 a.m. on race day. This means that the biker and runner of the relay team must arrive to Transition prior to 5:15 a.m. If an athlete arrives after 5:15 a.m., you will not be able to enter and compete in that leg of the race. We understand this makes for a very long day, but it is something that we must do to ensure the safety of our athletes. Remember to bring the paper, take a nap, call your mom or cheer on your fellow athletes! Relay Teams can register through general entry, through Champions Club, through Official Teams or race on behalf of one of our Charity Partners.
