• Each team should have four runners. The runners are not allowed to change
their track in 4×100 race.
• The baton should be handed over in the fixed area only. It should not be
handed before the first line of the fixed area and not after the last line of it.
• The baton must not be thrown to the next runner. It must be handed over
in the right way. If the baton falls while handing over, the same runner who
drops it must pick it up.

run. While making an approach run, one should run slowly at first and steadily the
