The Marathon Relay, a favorite for families, teams, coworkers and friends, is back again. Runners may compete in four-person teams (two-person teams have been discontinued). 

​

Important Information

​

• Teams will be carrying a baton with a timing chip attached to it.  Like a bib, it must be visible when crossing all timing mats.

• It is not a requirement for all members to check in at the expo.  Of course we would like for you to visit the expo but one team member can pick up bibs, shirts and the baton.

• It is encouraged to run as a group through the finish line if your last runner doesn’t beat you there.

4-person Teams
Four-person teams will exchange near the 6.55-mile mark, the start/finish line (mile 13.1) and the 19.65-mile mark. Teams must provide a driver to transport their team's runners to/from the 6.55- and 19.65-mile exchange points. The driver and all four runners will receive a finisher's medal. Runners must be 11 years of age or older be to participate in the relay.
