Join Campus Recreation for our annual relay marathon on the trail!
So, what is a marathon relay exactly? Like a marathon, a marathon relay is an event that covers 26.2 miles of distance. But instead of you running all of those miles by yourself, your team completes the challenge together. The entire race will be held on the main rail bed trail. Each relay team will consist of four or five people, all being at least 8 years of age on race day. For teams of five, each team member will complete one leg of the race (see below); for teams of four, one member will complete two legs. All team members will receive a technical running shirt (sizes guaranteed if registered by 3/20). Training plans are available by clicking here.
REGISTRATION NOTES:
Team captains should register first and create a team name and a team code, then share this code with the other team members so they can register. Before registration, teams should discuss which leg(s) (see above) they will complete, and then select the correct leg during registration.
*CORE Outdoor + Cycle is giving $50 gift card to each member of the team with the BEST NAME (judged by them). So get creative!
RACE DAY
On race day, all team members must check-in at Race Central (SCRC front entrance patio) between 11:00-11:45 a.m. and all racers must be stationed at the trail entrance by 11:50 a.m. Legs will be released in 10 minute increments; this will speed up the overall event time. If a team member is running more than one leg, the timers will notify them of their second leg start time.
