This race takes place at San Gabriel Park. Each team consists of two members who each run a 1.55 mile long loop around the park on the crushed granite trail with a shortcut along the grass as the trail is 1.65 miles. (I missed the grass section and enjoyed a little longer loop.. Oops). The trail is easy to follow and mostly flat with very little elevation gain. The handoff consists of a tag and the second runner is off, the course is gun time and the second runner wears the bib.
There are 13 categories of combined age of team members (male, female, mixed, family). Each team member received a unisex short sleeve white tech shirt as long as you register by the shirt cutoff date. Winners receive a framed plaque and water bottle, 2nd and 3rd place receive a ribbon. After the race there was water, bananas, bagels, peanut butter and advocare.
This was a fun race, I convinced my roommate who is just getting running to be my partner. We had a great time and happy to come away in 2nd place (out of 4) in our category. The distance was perfect for a summer race.
