TEAM CAPTAIN

We will provide regular race information and updates for the team captain on our Captain Resources page and through monthly email newsletters. Team Captains can be transferred to another person at any time. Existing captains should email info@villetovillerelay.com and Cc the new captain if they request a change of captain.

TEAM PACE

To make it to the post-race party in one day, the team must maintain a pace of 11:00 minutes per mile or less. This doesnt mean everyone on the team has to run at this pace, but it does mean that if you have slower team members, you will need faster ones to keep your team on track.

Each team member will estimate their 10K pace when they join the team. These and past team performances will be used to determine your team's pace.

CANCELLATION & WEATHER

This is a rain-or-shine event. The race director has the right to change the course or the event due to inclement weather, road closures, or state restrictions.
