WELCOME RUNNERS LETTER FROM THE RACE DIRECTORs We are excited to welcome you to the 9th annual Market to Market Relay presented by Nebraska Orthopaedic Hospital. The running road trip continues to get bigger and better every year. Because of your support the Market to Market Relay Nebraska continues to be the largest day-long relay in the country and receives national media attention. Thanks for making the race a bucket list run for runners across the nation. As race directors, it’s been exciting for us to watch the tremendous popularity of the event grow each and every year, but it’s been especially rewarding to witness the positive impact the event has had on Nebraska runners, teams, companies, non-profits and local communities. Since 2008, the Market to Market Relay Nebraska has been able to donate over $110,000 to local charities and community groups including the Great Plains Trails Network and Quality Living Incorporated. This year we are proud to make donations to over 20 Nebraska groups located in communities throughout the course which are listed on page 3.These organizations work year round to make Nebraska a better place to live and we thank you for supporting these groups by running in the race. We were also excited to learn about the positive tourism impact the race has had in Nebraska. Using an economic impact analysis performed by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the race is estimated to have provided over $3.75 million dollars of economic impact for the state since 2008. This year, runners represent 31 states and 196 Nebraska communities. Just by participating, you are making our state and communities stronger. Thank you! Perhaps most importantly, we love hearing incredible stories from runners about how the Market to Market Relay inspired them to live a more active and healthy lifestyle. Next year marks the 10th annual Market to Market Relay and we are already deep in planning special surprises for everyone, especially runners that have run all 10 years. If next year is your 10th year running, volunteering or driving the van we’d love to hear your story at m2mrelay.com/share Run safe, drive safe, thank a volunteer, enjoy your teammates and we’ll see you in the Haymarket after the race at the Pepsi PostRace Shindig & Expo!

RACE COURSE SAFETY Safety is the first and foremost priority of the Market to Market Relay. It is important that all runners and drivers realize that there are many potential hazards and risk associated with participating in a relay race on open roads and trails. These include, but are not limited to, vehicle traffic, other trail user traffic, road and trail conditions, and weather. Please help us have a safe relay by being safe runners and drivers and providing safe support.
RUNNER SAFETY Please read and understand all race rules and seek clarification as needed. Beware of vehicles, THE COURSE IS OPEN TO VEHICLE TRAFFIC. A significant portion of the race course crosses “live” roads. Obey all traffic and pedestrian laws, unless instructed differently by a police officer. Course Signage: Follow all M2M Relay signs and read the stage directions in this guide carefully. It is your job to know the running route — the signs are only there to assist you. We recommend carrying water and a cell phone while running. RUN AGAINST TRAFFIC: Runners must run against traffic if running on city or county roads unless instructed otherwise. VISIBILITY GEAR: All teams are REQUIRED to have at least 2 reflective safety vests, 2 head lamps or flashlights and 2 blinking LED taillights. One of each MUST be worn by all runners beginning a new stage during Official Nighttime Hours, before 7:00 am and after 7:30 pm. HEADPHONES: The use of personal music devices with headphones/earbuds while running is strongly discouraged. The event takes place on roads and trails that are open to vehicles and other trail users and the route often crosses open roads. Runners must be alert and aware of their surroundings at all times. WATER: As a general rule, runners are in charge of their own water on the course and there will not be water stations between most Exchange Points. Team should stock their vehicle with enough water to last the duration of the race. Team Water Refill areas ( ) are located at Exchange Points 4, 11, and 18. RESTROOMS: Portable toilets are located at the start line, finish line and every Exchange Point unless otherwise noted.

VEHICLE AND DRIVER SAFETY Beware of runners on the driving course. A significant portion of the race course crosses roads. Please refer to the Rules Concerning Vehicles section on page 8. TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL AND SAFE DRIVING: »» Focus on driving! »» Have your co-pilot read driving directions and give you instructions. »» Know where you are going and look at the map before you start driving. »» Do not arrive at Exchange Points significantly early. The driving directions are not always the most direct route. They were created to avoid crossing the runner path and to lower congestion at Exchange Points. Please follow the driving directions printed in this booklet.
TEAM SUPPORT: WATER, FOOD, AND GEAR It is your team’s responsibility to carry adequate team water, food, blankets, first aid supplies, cell phones, clothing layers, visibility gear, and rain gear in your vehicle.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, DIAL 911. ON-COURSE MEDICAL: Basic first aid kits are available at all Exchange Points. On-Course Medical support with advanced first aid and response skills will be stationed at Exchange Points 1, 3, 6, 8, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, and the Finish Line. Look for this red marker on the stage maps. Notify the nearest volunteer and the Race Emergency Director with any concerns or emergencies. HAM RADIO VOLUNTEERS will be located at most Exchange Points. These special volunteers can help connect you with medical volunteers, other Exchange Points or help answer general questions you may have.

RACE COURSE SAFETY POLICE ASSISTANCE AND TRAFFIC LAWS Runners will be provided with police assistance at Stages 1, 18, 19 and 20. Runners MUST obey all traffic laws unless instructed otherwise by a police officer. NOTE: If for some reason during the day your team is delayed either because of heavy traffic when crossing a street or because of a train — these situations are considered part of the course.
LIGHTNING RULE Lightning at the start of the race may result in a delayed start until the lightning clears. If you see lightning on the course after the race has started, get your runner off the running route and into your team vehicle. Be conservative, error on the side of safety and caution, and follow these procedures: »» Make a note of the time and the location where you exited the course. »» If lightning clears within 30 minutes put your runner back onto the running route where they left and make a note of the time. »» If lightning persists longer than 30 minutes, move ahead one Exchange Point. For every 30 minutes of lightning delay, please move ahead one Exchange Point. »» Keep accurate track of where and when you left the course and where and when you returned to the course. »» Resume running at your own risk 30 min after last strike. »» Turn your Team Time Card with this information into the Pink Gorilla Events Headquarters tent at the Shindig. We will then calculate your average pace and apply this pace to the segment of the course that you missed and will provide you with an official adjusted race time. This may take a few days, so be patient with awards and official results.

RACE RULES GENERAL RULES 1. TEAM MATRIX: Teams shall consist of six, seven or eight runners. Teams must run in a fixed order and each runner shall complete multiple legs of the Relay, called Stages. Each Stage will be approximately 3 to 5 miles. Teams must carry a “baton,” passing it from runner to runner at each Exchange Point. There will be 19 Stages and, therefore, 19 Exchange Points and a Team Finish (the starting line is Exchange Point 1). 2. MINIMUM TEAM SPEED: TEAMS ARRIVING AT THE FINISH LINE AFTER 9:10 PM WILL NOT RECEIVE A FINISH TIME. 3. STAGE SKIPPING: Teams skipping a stage will receive a Did Not Finish (DNF). If your team MUST skip a stage, please notify Race Headquarters.
RULES CONCERNING VEHICLES Please use your best judgment when driving, and please watch for runners and other pedestrians. 1. VEHICLES AND RUNNERS: Vehicles may not stop to interact or support runners on the course unless an injury has occurred, lightning has been spotted, or a runner has taken a wrong turn. Vehicles must always take the Driver’s Path. Please remember, runners are in charge of their own water and nutrition while running between Exchange Points and may not be supported. 2. NUMBER OF VEHICLES AND TYPES ALLOWED: Team vehicles must be less than seven feet in width and less than 21 feet in length. Large vans, minivans and SUV’s are allowed. No RVs, mini-buses, trailers or limos are allowed. All vehicle passengers must have access to a safety belt. Team’s violating this rule will be immediately disqualified. 3. LOCATION OF ID TAG: Registered team vehicles must display an official identification tag in the front and rear window. The tag must be visible to race officials at the Exchange Points. Only team vehicles displaying the official tag will be allowed to park at the Exchange Points. 4. DRIVING DIRECTIONS: Team vehicles MUST follow the driving directions provided in the Race Day Guide. Directions have been designed to eliminate vehicle contact with runners and to provide the quickest route to the next Exchange Point. If a vehicle gets lost or takes a wrong turn and does not reach the next Exchange Point in time, the time is lost and will not be awarded back. 5. TRAFFIC LAWS: Team vehicles MUST obey all speed limits, traffic signs, other traffic laws and instructions from race officials. 6. RUNNER SAFETY: Team vehicles must drive at a normal rate of speed. Vehicles may not block or interfere with other vehicles, and must yield the right of way to runners at all times. 7. PARKING: At the Exchange Points, team vehicles must park in designated areas only. Vehicles may not stop within the Exchange Point area, even to discharge runners, until parked in the designated area.
