  • Largest corporate, family, or school group
  • 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place team marathon finishers (see below for details)

Earth Run Relay Marathon:

Teams of four will be able to participate in the Earth Run Relay Marathon. All members of the team will run at the same time, each covering a distance of 10.55km (one quarter of a full 42km marathon distance). The finish times of all four team members will be added together for the team’s marathon finish times. Marathon teams can consist of family, friends, and colleagues.  This is a great way to build team support – or foster some friendly rivalries!

Participant Requirements:

  • You must be able to complete the course within two hours.
  • You must be in good health and physically prepared to take on the challenges of a 5K or 10K.
  • You must be registered to participate. Please, no bandits.
  • Headphones are permitted, provided that you remain aware of your surroundings and do not pose a hazard to yourself or others.
