The relay was the final event for JWOC 2011. Graeme led the Canadian men's team in the mass start followed by Graham and Lee. For the first time ever, Canada had a women's team in the relay with Tori in the mass start followed by Kendra and Emily K.
Team France's Emilie Backschneider led a mixed France/Canada team with Emily R. the second runner and Molly finishing.
The women relay was won by the Swedish 1st team and it was a huge surprise for the home town Polish Team taking the men's relay gold medal.
