ULTRA TEAM 6 x 6

• Ultra teams need only one vehicle (see Rules).

• 6 x 6 Ultra teams run their legs in rotation running the same legs and using the same exchanges as the 12-person teams. Thus each runner runs 6 times.

• All other rules apply.

Each individual leg's rating is based on its difficulty due to the elevation gain/loss as the mileage speaks for itself. The "Overall Difficulty Ranking" takes into account both mileage and the each leg's rating.

To get an idea of how much fun a 6x6 team can be, here is an article from a 6x6 team member during the 2005 Wild West Relay that was published in the Denver Post.
