Remember! This is a RELAY. There are 4 "legs" of 3.27 miles. If you have a 2 person team: Member 1 will run leg 1 and 3. Member 2 will run leg 2 and 4. If you have a 4 person team: each member will run 1 of the 3.27 mile legs. We will give specific direction as to When, where and why right before the start of the race. 3 Member teams will count as 4 member teams for scoring (using their oldest member's age twice). If you are running the Half by yourself you will be scored as a 2 person team by simply doubling your age!
