HOW IT WORKS
A relay team can consist of two or three people.
Each member of the relay team completes one or two of the three disciplines in the triathlon.
The swimmer completes the swim, then the swimmer passes the electronic chip to the cyclist inside the cycle transition area.
The cyclist completes the cycle course and passes the electronic chip to the runner in the transition area.
The runner completes the run and hands in the electronic chip at the finish line.
All team members can cross the finish line together and collect their medals.
Awards
We award first place in the Female Relay Event and first place in the Open/Mixed Category Relay Event.
All Open/Mixed Category teams can consist of two or three people, male or female.
