In a relay race, the baton is typically carried in the dominant hand of the runner. This allows for better control and a more natural grip during the handoff. When passing the baton, the outgoing runner usually extends their dominant hand backward to receive it, facilitating a smooth transition. However, practice and coordination between team members are crucial for successful handoffs.
