The Human Baton (THB) is a super sport relay race across land, sea, and air, and is unlike any race you’ve seen before! While a regular relay race passes an inanimate baton from one racer to the next. In THB, teams pass a live human, their team’s “Baton Athlete'' across race disciplines for the entirety of the course. Each destination of this summer’s race tour will consist of Drift Cars, Supercars, Thundercat Boats, and Skydiving. In order to participate, each team will have one expert in each race discipline who will drive that leg of the race, ensuring that their team’s Baton Athlete is securely passed from one event to the next as quickly as humanly possible.
To add to the excitement, each Baton Athlete is equipped with the latest technology in video capture, which enables our global audience to experience every step of the race in first person. Each racer and team will have their story told to our global audience, which creates bonds between competitors, viewers, and the community.

What exactly is a Baton Athlete? A Baton Athlete is a seasoned athlete who cross-trains and participates in each & every discipline of the THB relay race. As the name suggests, this special breed of athlete is passed along by one team driver to the next, from air to land and sea, across the entirety of the race course. While each team expert is an invaluable piece of the puzzle, you, the Baton Athlete, are the only member of the team to participate in every leg, making you the thread that ties the race together. This also makes each Baton Athlete a storyteller for our audience around the world as each step, twist, and turn of the race is broadcasted from his/her point of view.
As a Baton Athlete, you are the co-pilot, navigator, and even maintenance crew if the need arises! With that in mind, Baton Athletes must be intimately familiar with 1) each race discipline (in order to optimize performance), 2) navigation (in order to best guide their driver through the course), and 3) equipment maintenance (in the case of a blown tire or any other malfunction that could arise).
