The relay will be an Ekiden relay. Exchange points will be at 5K, 15K, 20K, and 30K, which gives "legs" of 5K, 10K, 5K, and 12.2K, respectively. This event was adopted by USATF during the Annual Meeting held in Albuquerque. Only the 5-member version will be offered this year.
Each team member must submit a separate entry form and signed waiver. The entry forms for each team must be submitted as one packet not later than 7pm on Saturday, October 25. Please do not ask for substitutions after that time. Teams cannot register on Race Day, but can pick up their packets.
Remember, only the fifth team member crosses the finish line.
