THE RACE

Each team consists of two people. Teammates run 400m laps, alternating partners every lap until each teammate has completed 12 laps.  Practice your exchanges because you'll actually be passing a baton (which is also your official timing chip). One partner will run 13 laps to complete the official 10k distance.
