From the event's website:
With the new early start to the season, we’re thrilled to launch our Sea Hawks Cross Country Relay at Redondo Union High School, just blocks from the ocean. This meet features a unique 15k relay race with five-person teams. Each member will run a 3k leg in relay fashion, passing a team wristband from runner to runner until all five legs are completed.
This event offers a fresh and exciting challenge amidst your busy season of high-pressure meets. It’s a fantastic opportunity to practice team dynamics, packing, and strategies in a completely different format.
