2 Person Relay

New - 2 person relay. The exchange zone will be at the Aid Station near Roger Williams University. The first runner on the team will run 7.5 miles with the 2nd person completing the half marathon distance with 5.6 miles. Each team will be given a race bib belt to act as the "baton" with the chipped bib attached. Individual splits will not be recorded - only the total team time. Team captain registers themselves, sets up their team and pays the full entry fee. The 2nd member of the team will register for that same team, with their entry fee discounted to $0. Awards will be given for Top All Male team, Top All Female team and Top "Open" team for co-ed and non-binary teams. Participants must transport themselves to and from the exchange zone, but there is plenty of parking available at RWU.
