Meet Information
This will be a 4 person Co-Ed (2 boys, 2 girls) 10K Relay.
Each school can enter as many 4-person teams as desired. We will also accommodate incomplete teams.
Each runner will compete over a 1.5 mile (2.5K) distance. The first mile will be exactly the same as the first mile of the Kernstown 5K course (see map below). The route will then vary by following the road to the gate, making a U-turn across the road and going back down the other side. The relay course will then jump back onto the 5K course briefly as it heads back up to the starting line. The course will then turn the the left and loop around to the starting line (which will also serve as the finish line) for the exchange. We will try to provide a course map by race day.
Note about the course: each runner will only run up the starting line hill one time.
The individuals on each 4-person team can run in any order. However, the order must be established prior to the meet. A spreadsheet will be provided to list each relay leg.
'Slap bands' will be used as batons and will be issued to each team at the coaches meeting.
Race start time: 5:00
Each team must be able to complete the course in 50 minutes. Incomplete teams may compete to allow each runner to get a time. There will not be a final time for incomplete teams. For example, if you have 3 runners remaining after all teams have been filled, those runners can run the first 3 legs of the relay.
