Registration for 2024 events here.

Only one runner will cross into and out of Canada. This leg will be approximately 8.5 miles. A team MUST CONSIST of a 3:2 gender ratio to qualify for mixed division awards.

Please continue to check back on this page as we work through the details for this year’s races. Information regarding leg lengths and transportation will be updated soon.

Here’s everything you need to know about how the Marathon Relay works:

• 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 leg of 3-to-8.5 miles. The team can have as few as two members competing. However, this will require that some team members run more than one leg. For example, if a team has only three members, the first runner may run the first two legs of the relay, the second runner may run the next two, while the third runner runs the final distance to the finish line. If someone is running multiple legs, they must run consecutive legs (example, leg 1 and 2). If a team has four members, one member must run two consecutive legs of the relay.
• Relay leg distances are still being finalized, but tentatively will be as follows:
  • Leg 1: 8.7 miles
  • Leg 2: 4.28 miles
  • Leg 3: 3.72 miles
  • Leg 4: 2.85 miles
  • Leg 5: 6.65 miles
• 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.

• There are several different entry categories for relay teams, which include:
  • Male (all male team members)
  • Female (all female team members)
  • Mixed (a 3:2 ratio of male/female team members)
  • 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)
  • Mixed Masters (male/female team members who are all 40 years or older)

Phase 2: 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. Then each team will receive one timing belt with one white bib. This will be buckled around the active runner and will be passed among the team. 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.

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.

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.

Prizes

Prizes 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:

A mixed team MUST CONSIST of a 3:2 gender ratio to qualify for awards.

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.
