WEB COPY ©EVEQUE Activity : A sprint relay is where team members carry a baton over a specified number of laps. The start and finish is the halfway point between the two ‘reversaboards’. Waiting team members sit on their team mat to the side of their lane. A complete lap is the distance from the start / finish line to the first turn board followed by the full length of the hall to the return board and back to the start / finish line. The first runner stands behind the start line facing the first turn board. On the whistle, the first runner completes the required number of laps and passes the baton to the next team member. After exchanging the baton the runner returns to sit on the team mat and the last runner finishes the relay by crossing the start / finish line at the end of his or her final lap. Return Board
