The race routine

Things get down to the basics on race day – run, drive, eat, sleep.
Repeat.

During the relay, each team member runs three legs, each leg ranging
between 3 - 8 miles and varying in difficulty. So, from the elite runner
down to the novice jogger, it's the perfect relay race for anyone.

Each team is responsible for providing two support vehicles, with six
runners in each vehicle. The first vehicle will drop off the first runner,
drive ahead a few miles, cheer the runner on, and provide them with water,
snacks, and plenty of love. That vehicle will then drive ahead to the first
exchange point to drop off the second runner, and pick up the first runner
when that leg is complete. They will repeat this pattern for six legs until
they hand off to their second vehicle. This leapfrogging pattern will
continue all the way to the finish line.

The team meets for pre-race breakfast on Friday morning.  Once the race is
underway our vans don't spend a lot of time together.

There is a small bit of paperwork required -- the results log.  Each van
must document the finish time of each leg.

A warning phone call when the transition is within 20 or 30 minutes is
customary.  Timing can be a touchy subject when a van's members have been
sleeping – sometimes the van leader will request a specific amount of lead
time.
