Marathon Relay
Marathon relay teams are composed of four runners, who each run one leg of the 26.2 mile course. Legs are *not* equal in distance, and are chosen based on appropriate exchange points for parking and transportation considerations. All relay runners will receive maps, parking instructions, and relay exchange locations prior to the race.
