TEAMS

DO TEAMS NEED TO RUN IN THE SAME ORDER FOR THE ENTIRE RACE?

Yes, teams are required to maintain the same sequence and rotation of runners throughout the race

TIMING

IS THERE A TIME LIMIT?

Teams are required to maintain an average pace of at least 16:00 minutes per mile over the ~30K (18.6 mile) course to complete the event within the 5 hour time limit. We understand that teams may consist of runners with varying abilities, so periodic checks will be done to make sure your team can complete the race before the finish line closes at 1:00 PM.

Any team that falls behind these paces or experiences unforeseen circumstances, will be asked to alter their race.

NOTE: Teams that do not run all legs will still be included in the finish results through the time of the last reading of their timing chip (no finish time will be provided).

HOW WILL THE EVENT BE TIMED?

Live results and splits will be available throughout the event at the pre/post-race party area. Split times will be recorded at every Exchange and the finish line.

RACE COURSE

CAN I RUN WITH A BABY STROLLER OR MY DOG?

We love babies and dogs but no. For safety reasons, no strollers or dogs are allowed on the course.
