relay race
Team running event
A relay race is a competition where team members take turns completing portions of the course, each passing a baton or tag to the next runner: Our team won the 4x100 relay race.
The format appears in swimming, skiing, and other sports beyond track.
Figuratively, any sequential handoff of responsibility: Raising kids is a relay race between parents and teachers.
