The 1st person in the relay team will cover the first 5.4 Km of the race course to the first Relay Exchange station where they will be directed to cross over a timing mat that will record their time. The ankle bracelet timing chip must then be handed over to the 2nd runner who will put on the same ankle bracelet timing chip and run to the next Relay Exchange station.

This process will continue until all 8 legs of the relay race are covered and the last person in the team crosses the finish line timing mat that records the total team time.
