For all track relay races, starting athletes have a staggered start and must remain in their lanes; where applicable, subsequent runners are free to take up any position on the track. In all relay races the baton must be passed within the hand-over zone (marked on the track). The passing of the baton is completed at the moment it is in the hand of the receiving runner only, a dropped baton must be picked up by the athlete who dropped it.
