What are the characteristics of the alternating relay?
Maximize the baton pass
The first runner carries the baton in the right hand and approaches the second runner on the inside of their lane (interior pass)
The second runner receives the baton in the left hand and approaches the third runner on the outside of their lane (exterior pass)
The third runner receives the baton in the right hand and approaches the fourth runner on the inside of their lane (interior pass)
The baton must be transferred in the passing zone - 20m
The runner who will receive the baton must wait inside the acceleration zone - 10m
The runner who will receive the baton must place a mark before the acceleration zone to start when their teammate crosses that mark
The acceleration phase aims to maintain maximum speed and give the 'command voice', as well as finding the ideal speed for the pass
The runner who delivers the baton approaches at high speed
The runner who will receive the baton must be in the starting position (supported on the anterior thirds of the feet with the knees flexed and inclined forward)
The athlete who will receive the baton must look at the mark and start when their teammate crosses that mark
The acceleration of the runner who receives the baton must be consistent
The runner who delivers the baton must give the 'command voice' to the teammate who will receive it when they are at the exact distance for delivery
The runner who will receive the baton extends their arm back (according to the technique used), the teammate delivers the baton
