Runners looking to experience a long distance trail race but who are not confident in being able to complete a full 50k may enter the Goat or Gazelle Relay. For the relay, teams of 2 runners will complete the Bluff course that has been divided into 3 sections. The Gazelle will run the first and last section, this route is generally less technical than the mid-section; while the Goat will cover the more ‘mountainous’ middle portion. Teams must nominate who will participate as the Goat or Gazelle at entry. Switching roles after the race has started will not be permitted. The cut off times stated for the individual race shall also apply to the relay.
The change over locations shall be at Bluff Head (aid station2) and the Renee’s Way (aid station 4) parking lot. It shall be the responsibility of each team to arrange transport to these locations and you are asked to try and car pool with other teams if at all possible. Please do not attempt to drive to the Braemore Estate (aid station 3) parking area on Rte77 as the parking area is insufficient. If you wish to cheer team members on, please use the Old Archery Range parking area (aid station 1), the Rockland Preserve parking lot off Rte79 and the Rene Way parking area.
