The PCR follows the classic 12-person relay model where each runner takes on 3 legs. Standard team runners are split up into two groups of 6 runners, van 1 and van 2. While runners 1 through 6 in van 1 run through their respective legs, runners 7 through 12 in van 2 get a break and travel to their transition station where runner 6 of van 1 hands over the baton to runner 7 of van 2. This cycle gets repeated till all 36 legs are completed, typically taking 24 to 32 hours.
For runners wanting to take it up another notch, there will be the possibility to sign up as an ultra team, completing the whole course with a team of just 6 runners, or to sign up as a wild card team for teams with 3 to 10 runners.
