Hundred K Relay
The relay race is open to teams of three: an all-male team, an all-female team, and a coed team. Every team will be issued one chip. The chip must cross the finish line 6 times, and the handoff must occur at the finish/start line-not mid-trail. Teams will determine the order of runners and laps. The race headquarters is perfect for teams and crews to relax and hang out while their teammates run. When registering, each runner will register themselves. A female must run at least two of the six laps if registering as a coed team. The top team in each category will receive hand-crafted awards.
