100 KM Team Relay Race
Date: 13 December 2024 (Friday)
Start/Finish: Lam Tsuen Wishing Square, Fong Ma Po, Tai Po
Race Start: 22:00
Baggage Check: 20:00-21:45
Registration: First-come, first-served Basis
Category: Team Race 100 km (4 runner relay format)
Each team must be mixed gender.
What is the 100Km Team Relay arrangement?
Relay Teams will be given race member bibs in advance for distribution to each team member and a wristband with a timing chip that should be collected at the start venue by the first runner. The wristband will serve as a relay baton to be passed on from one team member to the next at each relay handover zone. It should be returned by the final runner at the finish line.
Team members can track their teammate progress vias various phone app methods, or GPS tracker to make sure they are at the transition checkpoint ahead of the runner with the bracelet. They can begin running as soon as the bracelet handover takes place in the handover zone at the checkpoint.
Teams are responsible for their own transport to the handover zone checkpoints as well for the transport of the runner completing the section back to the finish line or home (unless the runner wishes to wait for the sweeper bus). This will be a test of team race logistics.
