We truly believe a running race can be a platform to do good in the community for physical health, mental health and charitable endeavors.
The marathon team relay is up to five athletes taking on the 26.2 mile course. The exchange points are roughly 5 miles apart and all athletes meet at the final exchange point at mile 26 to come in together, grab that finisher photo and get crowned with medals. A great way to take on the marathon course as a team!
