The one restriction is that only one member of a team is allowed on the course at any one time.

Participants in the mixed-discipline pairs relay races are required to run alternate legs, i.e. the designated runner or cyclist must tag their partner after each completed lap. The pairs total lap result will end at the time that this rule is broken.
