IMPORTANT NOTE: Tracking mats are set beginning at the 10K split (6.2 miles. This is close to where the 1st relay exchange zone is, so relay runner 2 should not rely on this). From there, racer pace will be tracked throughout the course. For mile 20, this will begin at the “13 mile mark” which is closer to mile 7 for you. From there, 20 milers will be accurately tracked throughout the remainder of the course through the finish.
