If you have never done a relay race before, trying to figure out what to pack can be a challenge. I am fortunate to be on a team for the Portland to Coast which is highly organized; they send out a list of items to bring that is comprehensive. Considering that the year before I joined their team I forgot to pack extra underwear (don't do that!!), I am very grateful to have their help as I build my gear bag. Here's their list:
