The numbers speak for themselves in explaining the sporting and sociological success of this new format.
A timing chip serves as the relay baton. It will be attached to the anklet of the relay runner. In each town, a specific area will be equipped to allow the relay to be handed over seamlessly. Within these areas, runners will find refreshments as well as musical entertainment.
