Meet Information
Note: You will be registering for the "4xMile Relay" event here in MileStat. MileStat did not have an option for a "4 x 2,500m Relay," so this was the next best option. The title is arbitrary. Each relay leg will be 2,500m.
Registration fees: $10 per athlete. $250 team maximum. Unlimited entries
Registration example #1: You have 14 boys and 14 girls entered. That's a total of 28 athletes, which, at $10/athlete, amounts to $280. You would pay $250 as it is the maximum entry fee. With each relay consisting of 4 athletes, you would have 3 complete boy relay teams and 3 complete girl relay teams. The 2 remaining boys would be entered as individuals in separate relays, allowing them both to run during leg 1. The same would be the case for the 2 remaining girl.
Registration example #2: You have 12 boys and 12 girls entered. That's a total of 24 athletes, which, at $10/athlete, amounts to $240. You would pay $240 since you are under the $250 maximum entry fee. You would have 3 complete boys relays and 3 complete girls relays.
