Question 2

How do relays work?

Accepted Answer

Put all your Mates in a van (or two cars if you don't have a van) and have them run about 215km around Europe's largest lake! There will be 24 relays in total, between 4 and 15km each, which will make about 25km per Mate (if there are more than 8 of you) with more or less difficulty depending on your organization.
One runner is on the course at a time, while the other Mates rest, encourage the runner or take on challenges!
While the runner is on the course, the van must go to the next relay point to wait for them. Indeed, the Mates only have telephone contact with the runner.

Question 3

How to organize yourself for the relays?

Accepted Answer

FREEDOM: This is the key word of this concept. You can organize yourself however you want.

A runner can run only one relay during the entire race. However, a runner can also run two, three, or four relays in a row if they feel able. There is no maximum or minimum number of relays that a runner must complete.

The only rule to follow is that the change of Mate must be done at a relay point.
