Are two-person Relay Teams permitted?
Yes. A two-person relay can complete the race with any combination of disciplines. Relay teams may later add a third person if they wish.
Can all team members cross the finish line together?
No. Only the run leg relay participant can cross the finish line. The Competition Rules state that only the relay runner can cross the finish line; if the other team members cross the finish line with the runner, the team would receive a disqualification.
How do I request to switch a Relay Member?
Contact the event email address to make any relay team member changes. Please provide the details of which team member you wish to cancel and provide the full name and email address of the new team member.
Do all Relay Team Members need to attend Athlete Check-In?
Yes. All teams MUST arrive together for Athlete Check-In to ensure that all the materials are accounted for. During Athlete Check-In, athletes will be required to sign their own individual waivers.
What is the Withdrawal Policy for a Relay Team?
Relay captains are eligible for a partial refund of the registration fee. Please review the withdrawal policy to reference the partial refund options.
Does each Relay Team Member receive a timing chip?
No. The relay team will receive one timing chip at bike check-in. The timing chip acts as a “baton” and team members must hand-off the timing strap/chip to move forward to the next discipline.
Do all Relay Team Members need to be the same age and gender?
No. Relay team members can be comprised of a mix of gender and age. All participants must be 18 years of age on race day.
If a team member fails to make the course cut-off, can other team members still complete their leg of the race?
No. Failure to complete the swim or bike course within the time constraints will result as a DNF of the entire team.
How does transition work? Do the cyclist/runner need to stay in transition the entire time?
Some events provide a relay pen, which is designated for the teams to gather. If the race provides a relay pen, only the cyclist is allowed in transition. If the race does NOT provide a relay pen, the cyclist and runner will meet their team members at the bike rack.
