The Exchanges

What do we do at each exchange?

DO NOT STOP IN THE EXCHANGE AREA TO DISCHARGE YOUR RUNNER! DO NOT OBSTRUCT TRAFFIC OR RUNNERS TO DISCHARGE YOUR RUNNER! Race officials will direct traffic at the exchanges. Parking will generally be 100 - 500 yards beyond the exchange but this is not true at all exchanges. Please read your course description and listen to the race officials at the exchange for detailed information.

ALWAYS BE ALERT FOR OTHER VEHICLES AND RUNNERS. VEHICLES MUST YIELD THE RIGHT OF WAY TO RUNNERS!

Spectators and other team members should remain on the right side of the road. We realize that it may be convenient to mill about on the pavement but it is imperative that the roads be kept clear for moving vehicles and runners. Please be alert for runners and traffic and be courteous at all times. Always follow the instructions of race officials.The officials may penalize or disqualify teams that refuse to follow instructions.

What happens if our runner gets stopped at a rail crossing?

The course traverses three rail crossings; volunteers will be posted at each crossing. In the event that a runner is stopped by a train, the volunteer will record your race number and the exact amount of time the runner is delayed. Your finish time will be adjusted accordingly.

What happens if our van gets stopped at a rail crossing and we are late getting to the exchange?

The volunteers at the rail crossing will record the team number of any van that is delayed at the transition and the amount of time the van is there. In the event that any runner arrives at one of the affected transitions and the next runner isn t present, the volunteers have been instructed to record the time the in-coming runner arrives and to record the time when that team's next runner reaches the transition.

Once we have verified that your van was delayed at a crossing we will deduct the smaller of (a) the amount of time your van was held at the crossing or (b) the amount of time between when your runner arrived and the time when your next runner reached the transition.
