The Marathon Relay Challenge is an opportunity for a team of 5 runners to take part in the Experian Robin Hood Festival of Running full marathon race. It is open to teams of 5 runners running 5-6 miles each.
Teams: Teams consist of five runners who can be all male, female or mixed sex. Each team member will run approximated 5.5 miles. Distances will vary slightly from leg to leg due to the placing of suitable changeover points. The minimum age for team members is 17. Relay changeover points are indicated on the course maps.
Transport: Team members are responsible for making their own way to the changeover points. The changeover points have been chosen to allow parking close by. A full detailed map of the route and changeover points will be included in the race pack.
Changeover and timing: The first runner will start at the main race start along with all other runners taking part in the full and half marathons. Start time is 10.05am. They will then run to the next changeover point handing their baton to their next runner. They then return to the race site to wait for their final runner to finish. This continues until the final runner arrives. All team members then meet before running over the finish line together.
