Participant Rotation
All teams are to rotate their team members in
the same sequence throughout the race. (Ex. If a participant
begins on Leg 2, he/she must stay in the number 2 position throughout
the race. The participant would then rotate to Leg 14 and Leg 26. This sequence should continue unless a teammate
has dropped out). |
|
Mixed Division
Participant Drop Out
If a runner/walker on a Mixed Division team becomes injured and drops out during a leg, the injured runner/walker must be replaced with the next team member in rotation of the same gender. (See Handbook for additional details and examples.) |
|
|
Participant Drop Out
If a team member drops out due to injury during a leg, the only the next runner or walker
in rotation can take the wrist wrap and continue, (but only to the
next exchange point). The next person in rotation can only finish the
unfinished portion of the previous leg and go no further. A handoff
must occur at the exchange point to the next participant in rotation. No more than one substitution
in one leg is allowed. (See Handbook for additional details and examples.) |
| |
| **Violation of the above policies will be assessed against team Finish Time. |
|
|
Race Officials
Course volunteers at exchanges are considered Race Officials. They
have authority to disqualify a team for rule violations, abusive
behavior, or team failure to follow instructions given by volunteers.
Abusive treatment or disregard for their authority will result in
a minimum 60-minute penalty.

Each team is limited to two (2) vehicles. Official
vehicle signs will be issued to each team vehicle. A
60-minute penalty will be assessed for failure to properly display
these signs. A team found with more than two vehicles
on the race course or more than one vehicle in one of the restricted
areas will be disqualified. |
