HOW DO THE RELAY BUSES WORK?
The relay buses load along the north side of Galloway Street in the Oxbow Hotel parking lot (516 Galloway St, Eau Claire, WI). Buses start at 6:30 AM and depart every 10 minutes and run continuously to each relay exchange zone. Spectators may ride the bus as space allows.
CAN WE WATCH AND CHEER ON OUR TEAMMATES?
YES! We encourage team members to stay together at each transition to cheer on the incoming and outgoing runners. As soon as the outgoing runner takes off, jump back on the bus and head to the next relay exchange!
HOW WILL OUR TIME BE TRACKED?
Your team race packet includes a race timing strap (each team has one strap). The race strap has the timing chip inside and must be worn on the ankle of the person running (starting with runner #1 at the start line). At each transition area, the strap must be taken off and secured around the ankle of the next runner. Failure to do so may result in missed chip reads and disqualification.
WILL WE NEED TO TRANSFER OUR BIB BETWEEN RUNNERS?
Nope! Each team member will have their own bib with your team number on it. This number matches your race strap number.
