LEG ASSIGNMENTS  /  COURSE SUMMARY TABLE

ASSIGNING LEGS
Since 12 team members run three times in rotation, captains assign a group of three legs to each runner. The Course Summary Table provides information about these leg groups.

The table shows that Runner 1 runs Legs 1, 13 and 25, which are 4.8, 6.0 and 5.5 miles, for a total of 16.3 miles. These three legs are Easy, Moderate and Easy.

Total mileage for a single runner varies from 12.9 (Runner 5) to 20.1 miles (Runner 7). Runners 5 and 6 travel the shortest total mileage (12.9, 13.4 miles), but climb the Santa Cruz mountains (Legs 29, 30). Runner 6 runs the Golden Gate Bridge (Leg 18) and the steepest hill (Leg 30). Leg 10 is the longest (8.9 miles) and hardest with 3.4 miles uphill followed by 5.5 miles downhill including a one mile trail across the Triangle G Ranch.

DIFFICULTY
The Course Summary Table allows captains to match runners' abilities to groups of legs by listing the Difficulty of each group. The Difficulty ranges from 1 (hard) to 12 (easy).

Runner 10 has the hardest group of legs, indicated by 1 in the Difficulty column. Runner 10 runs Leg 10 (8.9 miles), Leg 22 (4.2 miles) and Leg 34 (6.2 miles), which are Very Hard, Easy and Very Hard. Runner 1 runs the easiest group of legs, indicated by 12 in the Difficulty column.
