Teams consist of 5 people who each run a kilometer of the 5K course while dressed from the waist up in business attire. Each team must carry a briefcase that is relayed from team member to the next until the last (the 5th) team member crosses the finish line.  

CONTINUED THIS YEAR: In support of the FamilyWorks food bank, we are changing the rules of the Briefcase Relay and asking that each team carry FIVE CANS OF FOOD inside their briefcase rather than a copy of the Seattle Yellow pages (which was the rule in the past). After the relay, all teams will need to visit the FamilyWorks booth on the Adobe Plaza to donate their cans of food.

NEW THIS YEAR: Thanks to PCC Natural Markets and EcoMetro, the first 300 people (60 teams) who register for the Briefcase Relay will all receive a free Chinook Book coupon book onsite at the PCC Natural Markets booth.

Be sure to also check in with the ZipCar representatives located at the four relay exchange zones. If your team collects a puzzle sticker from all of the exchange zones and then turns them in as a group at the finish line area ZipCar booth, your team will be entered into a drawing for prizes.

All teams should remember that "business attire" is in the eye of the beholder. Bankers, Bakers, Billboard Holders, etc. The costumes are up to you just as long as they represent a profession.
