3 Amigos Relay Sash:
The 3 Amigos Relay uses a ceremonial sash as the official baton. Each team receives one sash at Packet Pickup, and it must be worn across the chest by the active runner at all times. Exchanges take place inside the marked chutes at Woods Loop (Mile 4.38) and Piute (Mile 8.76). The sash symbolizes teamwork, unity, and the shared journey across the 13.1‑mile course. Teams must complete the race with the sash to be officially scored.
