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

Cross other roads where indicated and follow instructions of Road Marshals and other Race Officials.

Team vehicles will display a unique identifying sign provided by the Race Director.

Teams may provide aid to any runners (on their team, other teams or solo runners).

Teams must not drive along side the runners.  Park at a safe place on the right side of the road, safely cross the road and hand off drink, food or clothing to the runner.  No parking on the left side of the road!

At exchange points, follow the parking instructions in the Race Handbook and any instructions of the Aid Station volunteers.

Every team member must run at least 2 relay 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.

The timing chip must be worn on leg 10 so the team receives an official finish time.

No littering.  Each aid station will have a trash bag for your use.  Any team caught littering will be disqualified.

Race Day Check-In - All teams must pick up their timing chip at Finger Lakes Community College on race day before the start.

Relay Start - Race start is 8:30 AM.

Timing Chip - The timing chip only needs to be worn on leg 10 so the team receives an official finish time.  The timing chip is not needed for any other legs of the relay.  Turn in the timing chip at the Finish at Finger Lakes Community College.

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

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 7.6 miles with two climbs and descents. Pick a runner with happy knees and good downhill running skills.
	Legs 3 and 8 total only 6.0 miles but include the challenging Bopple Hill climb, which almost everyone walks, and the more moderate climb to the top of Bare Hill Road. Pick a good climber.
	Legs 4 and 9 total 10.2 miles.  There is a substantial descent on leg 4. Assign this slot to a runner who is comfortable running long down hills and fast on the flats.
	Legs 5 and 10 are relatively long at 12.0 miles total and are mostly flat. Leg 5 is 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.
