For the slower teams this may mean that a runner starts a stage before their final runner has actually finished the leg of the previous stage. In other words, your team could have one runner beginning the first leg of a given stage at the same time as the last runner of the previous stage is still on course. In this case the team will send off their next runner, await the arrival of the last runner from the previous stage and then go on to support their runners in the upcoming legs of the next stage. This will only occur at the beginning/end of a stage, NOT in the middle of a stage. At the end each of leg there must be body-to-body contact between the runner finishing a given leg and the runner who will begin the following leg at the exchange point. A simple hand touch is all that is required. The exception to this will be at
