Looking for more details for race weekend? Wondering where gear check or a fluid station is located? Our interactive map is live! You can zoom in to view details of the event, click on icons for more info.

Overview:

• A team of two to five runners will cover the entire 26.2-mile distance.
• Our relay legs are designed to accommodate runners of a variety of skills and endurance. There’s a distance for everyone!
• Each runner will run one of five legs. Distances will range from 2.5-9 miles. A team can have as few as two members competing. However, this will require some team members to run more than one leg. For example, if a team has only three members, the first runner might run the first two legs of the relay, the second runner might run the next two, and the third runner would run the final distance to the finish line. If a runner runs multiple legs, they must run consecutive legs (e.g., legs 1 and 2). If a team has four members, one member must run two consecutive legs of the relay.
• We will be providing transportation from Relay Reunion (at Cadillac Square) to most of the exchange locations and back. More details on the exact transportation routes will be provided closer to race weekend.
• In the spirit of a true relay event, the team bib with a timing chip attached will serve as the team’s baton. This must be passed between teammates in the exchange zone for a valid exchange.
• There are several different entry categories for relay teams, which include:

○ Male (all male team members)

○ Female (all female team members)

○ Open (co-ed team, at least one member of each gender is required for award eligibility)

○ Male Masters (all male team members who are all 40 years or older)

○ Female Masters (all female team members who are all 40 years or older)

○ Open Masters (co-ed team members who are all 40 years or older, at least one member of each gender is required for award eligibility)

See below for more information on award eligibility.

Race Day

Each relay leg runner will be wearing a colored bib (with no timing chips), which must be attached and visible on their front. Each team will also receive one timing belt with one white bib. This bib will be buckled around the active runner and passed among the team members during exchanges. Each leg will be timed individually, in addition to the total team time.

If a runner is completing two legs, they must wear both bibs and run through each exchange timing mat.

To calculate your team’s exchange arrival times, download and use the Marathon Team Relay Leg Calculator.

Relay exchanges

There will be a staging area at each relay exchange staffed by volunteers. Teams are encouraged to communicate with each other before and during the race regarding pace and expected times. This can also be done through a group message if you run with your phone. It is the responsibility of the relay team to know when their team member will be arriving at each exchange. Runners must run through exchanges even when completing concurrent legs of the relay. Exchanges may only occur at exchange zones.

No relay run-in at the finish

Runner safety and security prevent a team run-in at the finish. Therefore the last leg of the relay is the glory leg to be run by one member of the team. Failure to comply will result in team disqualification. Relay teams will be able to meet near the relay team entrance for their reunion and team photos.

Age Requirements

All participants in the Marathon Relay must be 14 years or older on race day.

Awards

Awards for relay teams are based on chip time (not clock time). Participants in the Marathon Relay will receive a team plaque, as well as individual team member plaques in the following categories:

Relay teams are only eligible for one award category. Therefore, it is not possible for a team to receive an award in both the open and masters division.

To be eligible for awards all teams must meet the following requirements:

• The bib with the team timing chip must be passed between runners in the exchange zone only. Teams are only eligible for awards in the division that they register in.
• Bib exchanges must take place in the exchange zones of each relay exchange.
• Only 5 plaques will be mailed out. Non-participating team captains will not receive a plaque
• An Open team MUST CONSIST of at least one member of each gender to qualify for awards.
• All members of a Masters team must be 40 years of age or older on race day to qualify as Masters.
• Awards are based on chip time, not clock time.
• Teams must have a valid chip time. GPS data will not be accepted
• Relay teams are subject to all rules listed on the race Rule of Fair Play page
• Participants in the marathon relay are subject to the same USAFT rules as marathon and half marathon runners.

Failure to comply with the above items may result in a DNF and/or removal from results. Results and decisions regarding disputes, award eligibility or fouls will be made by the race director. Decisions made by the race director are final.
