RELAY TEAMS INFO

Yes! There will be a timing company set up at the start, midway point (clock only), and the end of the race. The timer will provide chipped bibs so that runners will have the most accurate time possible.

Relay team members will each receive their own bib. ONE of those bibs will have a chip. It is the teams responsibility to make sure the runner crossing the finish line is wearing the chipped bib.

Timing stats will be available post race through the timing company’s website.

Water stations will be set up strategically throughout the course. This is important, we will ensure there are ample water stations. Most of our volunteer coordination efforts go towards water station set up. We are continuously re-evaluating safety for the runners and volunteers, water station locations are as of yet undetermined.

There will be constables at busiest, and “least safe” intersections. Additionally there will be volunteers at every mile to direct runners. Water will be placed throughout the course.

Emergency medical personnel will be active along the route as well as at the finish line. Additional medical support will be on call as well.

There will also be at least one (most likely 2) portable toilet along the race for runners to use.

There will be a team of cyclists looping the course to provide additional support.
