The Relay of Life is an American Cancer Society. The Relay of Life provides events for people to help the American Cancer Society. It includes fundraising walks, camps, walking around the track, and entertainment.
The old exchanges has to do with track relay events in the USA changing from yards to meters. As a result of this conversion, the relay exchange zones had to be reconfigured and remarked on the track.
the difference is that in a shuttle relay, you run back and for(e.g. you run 100m to the next person and they run back to where you started, where the next person is waiting e.t.c.). A circular relay is around a track e.g. a 400m track you each run 100m going round the track. hope this has helped.
In speed skating, you do what called a relay. One person is skating on the track at a time, and when they finish a pre-determined number of laps, a team mate comes out onto the track in front of the skater, and the skater that is finishing his laps, pushes the new skater. That skater then goes and skates his laps and so on. There are different distances of relays. Yourger skaters might skate a 1500m relay. Teenagers might do a 3km relay. And when you get into distance relays in long track, you could do a marathon relay (42km).
