A mixed relay group consists of two women and two men. For the mixed relay race, the start numbers are based on the total of the current national cup rankings (male and female ranks added up). Thereby the leading national team starts first, the second team starts second etc. Other than this, the same rules apply as for the relay race.
- Women: each 6 km with two shooting bouts at 2 and 4 km (prone/standing)
- Men: each 7.5 km with two shooting bouts at 2.5 and 5 km (prone/standing)
- Simultaneous start of the first starter of each relay team
- Subsequent starts in the relay exchange zone
- The arriving racer must touch the departing one
- Start sequence: female – female – male – male
