HOW DOES IT WORK?Teams of 6, or 4 for Ultra Racers, cover 100-miles running the Virginia Capital Trail by tag-teaming the distance, relay

style. Your Team Vehicle drops off one runner at a time to take on one of the 18 legs of the race. After dropping your

runner at a designated exchange zone, the Team Vehicle and remaining team members drive ahead to the next exchange

zone to meet the runner, exchange the timing chip and cheer on the next runner. Each team member runs 3 legs, which

range in distance from 3.5-mi to 8.5-mi. Depending on your team’s strategy, an individual runner could run as short as

10.5-miles, as long as 24.5-miles, or anything in between.

or flashlight and LED “tail/butt”lights.

Team Vehicles:

Team Vehicles must seat at least 6 seat-belted passengers, but no more than 15, and be less than 20-feet long. Due

to limited parking at many of the Exchange Zones, vehicles such as motor homes, RVs, trailers and/or buses are not

permitted as team vehicles. We strongly encourage the use of 12-15 passenger vans or SUV’s for team vehicles. All team

vehicles must comply with all Local, State and Federal safety laws.

Reflective Vests / Headlamps / LEDs:

Anyone outside the Team Vehicle during the hours of 5:00am-7:15am or 6:45pm-Midnight is required to wear a reflective

or any team member out of the team vehicle and NOT at an Exchange Zone.

Injured Runners:

If an active runner can no longer continue to the next Exchange Zone, he/she may be replaced by another team member

to complete the leg. Once a runner has been substituted, they may no longer participate as a runner. They may serve as

a Team Vehicle driver if they are physically capable of safely doing so.

Follow Correct Route:

It is the responsibility of each team to know the course and be aware of the location of each Exchange Zone. Teams are

responsible to make sure that their runners stay on the course. If a runner goes off course, they should return to the spot

they went off course and continue. The course will be marked; however, signage can removed or changed.

Route:

The entire relay route must be run and/or walked, and all runners MUST remain on the Capital Trail during the event

unless they need to leave the trail to reach an Exchange Zone.

Team Captains will be given one black timing chip ankle band-. The chip must be strapped to the ankle of each runner

while running each leg of the course. . No Chip = No Time = No Results.

Quarq Real Time Tracker:

technology to transmit location data during the race, allowing teams to keep track of their runners on a smartphone or

tablet. This device MUST be worn/carried by each runner while running their legs of the course. Tracking will be available

here: http://www.quarqrace.com/

Timing Chip & Quarq Collector Return:

Volunteers will be available to remove the timing chip & collect your Quarq Qollector at the finish line. In the event

you do not start or do not complete the entire race, you must turn your timing chip in to a Rev3 Staff Member or Race

Official. Do NOT turn your chip into a volunteer. Failure to wear your timing chip during the race, return your chip after

the event, or pay the replacement cost of your lost chip may disqualify you from future Rev3 events. Lost timing chip

Road Closures:

the trail crosses major roads. Note that NONE of these roads will be closed to traffic and that runners and drivers of

Team Vehicles are required to follow all pedestrian and traffic laws at all times.


PAGE 11 FIND US ON:

Team Vehicle Pacing:

Due to the nature of the course, Team Vehicles are not permitted to follow their runners or to drive by their side. If there is

sufficient room to safely pull completely off of the road without obstructing traffic and without causing danger to anyone,

you may do so to cheer on your runner. Otherwise, Team Vehicles must proceed at the posted speed limit.

immediate team disqualification. There will be plenty of beer available at the post-race party when you are done.

polluting the landscape or environment. Bathrooms and portable toilets are readily available throughout the course. Use

them. Nudity is strictly prohibited.

Also:

• Do not honk horns or yell out vehicle windows during evening, night, and morning hours while in residential areas.

• Do not block any residential or business driveways.

• Do not impede traffic in any manner, including by driving too slowly or by not properly pulling vehicle over to the

side of the road when stopping.

Race Officials:

Violations of race rules will result in disqualification or time penalties, depending on the severity of the infraction. Any

rules violation that is determined by race officials to have placed the safety of any participant, volunteer, staff or the

general public at risk will automatically result in a team disqualification.
