Hernandez Memorial Relay and register your team. When you go to register, once you get to the screen where

you can edit your entries, figure out how many relay teams and add that many relay teams. I do not need to

know the names of your kids on these teams, I just need to know the correct number of relays. If you have an

odd number of runners, please email me and we will place the extra runner with another runner from a

different team, that way they still get to participate in the relay. If you are having trouble, please dont

hesitate to email me. The cost will be $14 per team and $7 per individual runner. Please make checks

payable to:
