Bus will remain there to pick up the first relay member and will return directly to the finish area of Woodward Park. Sorry, we cannot make additional stops along the course. Only participants may ride the bus to the drop off points. Relay members should ride the bus to their start point, making it easier for you and your friends. Please arrive at the start of the race to make sure you get on the shuttle in time. The Relay Exchange point is the same as 2015. The turnaround point is at the end of Friant Road. This provides plenty of room for the relay athletes. It also allows the photographer to take First Leg finishing photos! It’s a great spot where your family and friends can join in the fun and celebrate your accomplishments. A Finisher medal and Finisher Shirt will be given out at the Relay Exchange to the runner who has just finished that leg. Our Relay Exchange points are clearly marked. Relay chip timing information will be provided for both runners. The relay course is well-marked with signage that provides directional information specifically for the Relay runners.
