5th leg running times incorrect

feeds@yuku.com (mel994) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 07:10:35 GMT

The race organizers started remaining runners at 11:30 even if their previous legs had not returned. While this is fine, they did not account for this in their timing of the events. We had two teams and the 5th leg time was off for both by about 15 minutes. I recommend if the race organizers plan on doing this next year, that they also add a starting mat or they double check their calculations.

Running Discrepancy

Anyone have an idea who I might check with regarding a running discrepancy? Great run, by the way, and awesome logistical planning.

I am looking for two runners. I have four teams, and need an 11k runner for the 3rd leg on two different teams.

Looking to run half marathon

feeds@yuku.com (MJ1025) — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 20:38:00 GMT

I'm a male looking to run the half marathon in the relay. I can run it in about 7:30 to 7:45 pace per mile.

Thanks,

Manny

2-person Team

So.. I am part of a 2-person team, and we received 5 bibs and chips. Do we each need to wear all of the stuff for the legs we are running? Is it going to be a problem crossing the finish line 2 or 3 times with the same set of chips on our shoes?

Thanks,

Two Questions for the Idiots Among Us

feeds@yuku.com (dufus) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 08:51:29 GMT

1. How can I confirm that my loser teammates have actually registered for my team since they don't respond to my e-mails and seem to be ignoring my phone calls?

2. Our genius team captain put us in the wrong category (i.e. we should not be an all female team). Is there any way to fix this.

Male runner available to run any leg. Semi-speedy - just ran sub-45:00 10k at the hot and hilly Nike Human Race.

How do I register for a specific leg of the Relay?

feeds@yuku.com (davidgunn) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:26:24 GMT

We've been getting a few phone calls asking how to sign up for specific legs of the Relay when registering your team.

The online registration process is set up simply to gather info on who is on your team, and not necessarily who is running which leg. You're welcome to decide that amongst yourselves, up to and including the day of the race. Each race packet will include 5 runner bibs, color coded and individually chipped for each leg. (1st leg: red bib 10k, 2nd leg: white...

arrive late?

Hi!
If I'm not running the first leg of the race, can I show up later?
Thanks!
