The 5-person Team Relay runs along our traditional marathon route. The team relay offers a distance for everyone, regardless of your fitness level!
Relay team members run the same course as the marathon field, under the Ekiden format, as follows:

Snap Bracelet
The first runner will be given a snap bracelet to be worn on the right wrist. THE FIRST RUNNER MUST PICK UP A BRACELET AT THE START LINE RELAY BRACELET DISTRIBUTION DESK UNDER THE TENT. At each relay exchange point, the incoming runner will pass the snap bracelet to his or her team member. No relay member can leave for his or her relay leg without wearing the snap bracelet.
Forming a Relay Team
Corporations, non-profit groups, civic organizations and friends are encouraged to assemble their 5-person teams and compete!
