Runners must run on the left side of the road facing oncoming traffic unless otherwise directed.

Race officials will assist at intersections and exchange points.

Although we will have adequate aid stations, we highly recommend you carry a water bottle, especially if temperatures exceed 80 degrees.

Each team must provide its own transportation during the race. Teams are strongly encouraged to use only one vehicle.

Team vehicles will display an identifying sign provided by the Race Director. To prevent road congestion, vehicles must not drive alongside a runner at his or her pace. Vehicles should proceed ahead to pull-offs or the next exchange point to drop off and pick up runners. No parking on the left side of the road!

Every team member must run at least 2 legs and finish both legs he or she starts. Teams will determine among themselves which legs members will run.

Teams must change runners at each exchange point.  That is, team members cannot run two consecutive legs.

Pick people who will be fun to be with for the day. You will have lots of time to talk and get to know each other better.

After you have recruited your team, give some thought to which team member should run each leg. The relay has 10 legs of varying length and difficulty.

	Legs 1 and 6 together total 14.7 miles with no major climbs or descents. Assign this slot to a runner who is fast on the flats with good pacing sense and endurance.
	Legs 2 and 7 total 8.0 miles with two climbs and descents. Pick a runner with happy knees and good downhill running skills.
	Legs 3 and 8 total only 6.4 miles but include the challenging Bopple Hill climb, which almost everyone walks, and the moderate climb to Town Line Road. Pick a good climber.
	Legs 4 and 9 total 9.5 miles.  There is a substantial descent on leg 4. Assign this slot to a runner who is comfortable running long down hills.
	Legs 5 and 10 are relatively long at 11.5 miles and are flat. Leg 5 is short stretch of grassy rail to trail followed by flat to gently rolling roads.  Leg 10 gently trends down until the final steep drop into the college.  Assign this slot to another fast runner with good pacing sense and endurance.
	Note:  Other creative mixes of legs for each team member are fine so long as there is a change of runner at each exchange point and every team member runs two legs minimum.

Competitive teams may want to pre-run the more challenging sections before race day.

Captains of less competitive teams may want to coach their runners to use the same techniques that the solo runners use: walk the ups and run a comfortable pace on the downs.

Restrooms and showers are located at the Start/Finish.

Restrooms are available at Onanda Park and at the Church in Middlesex.

There is the woods beside the road.
