The Great Relay Singapore 2016

The Great Relay Singapore is an incredibly fun team running event, run in a relay format with teams collectively completing 50km or 100km on a 3.5km trail loop.

Teams consist of 2, 4, or 6 runners, with each team member running a lap of the 3.3km loop and exchanging the baton with the following teammate on finishing their lap. Your team will continue to do this until the team has completed the registered distance.

The exchange area gives you and your team the opportunity to cheer on the runners at the baton exchange. If you’re in a competitive team, you can watch the electronic leaderboard intently. Otherwise, sit-back (while you’re not running) and enjoy the entertainment: music, food and drink, yoga and kids classes and lots of incredible atmosphere!

Each runner will receive a finishing medal.

The course will be marked, and is on a tarmac path around the park and lake, with minimal elevation gain.

The Great Relay allows teams of 2, 4, or 6 runners.

The first runner from each team, or runner 1, as identified on his or her respective race bibs will run a single lap of the loop (3.5km).

Upon returning to the start/finish area runner 1 will exchange the designated race baton with runner 2. After completing their lap, runner 2 will exchange the designated race baton with runner 3.

This will continue until each member of the team has completed the loop a single time. Once each team member has completed the loop a single time, the first runner, runner 1, will set off again to run the loop.

This format will continue until the team has completed their 50km or 100km distance.
