Relay Logistics
Relay runners running the second leg will be transported by shuttle buses to the exchange point shortly after the marathon start. The bus will remain at the exchange point for the first runners. It will return to the finish area when full. Since it's likely to be cold we suggest 1st leg relay runners have their team mate bring warm clothing to the exhange point.
