Relay Race Preparation by the Running Track

A track athlete sits calmly near the running lanes before a shared team practice session begins. The surroundings feature a sports bag placed by a bench alongside a hollow relay baton used during passing exchanges on the track.

Interesting Facts About Relay Races

In track and field relay races, team members must pass a smooth tubular baton to one another within a designated exchange zone on the running track. Dropping the baton or making the exchange outside this specific zone can lead to team disqualification. Most professional running tracks are constructed from rubberized synthetic materials designed to absorb shock and provide traction for running shoes.
