Event comments:

After getting number and pkgs. we did not see start line or second stage for relay. Could not find any officials to ask. Just followed the crowd and hoped for the best. Never heard a gun, but everyone just started running so I followed, hoped my relay partner found his stage. Poor staging and route marking. Never knew for sure where we were going.
