The term 'ALONG IN RELAY' is a phrase used to describe a type of race in which teams of two or more people take turns running a certain distance. The first person runs the full distance, then passes a baton or other object to the next runner, who then runs the same distance and passes the baton to the next runner, and so on until the last runner crosses the finish line. This type of race is often used in track and field events, as well as in swimming and other sports.
