Half Marathon Relay teams will consist of 2 to 4 runners. The field is limited to 100 teams. Runners will be chip-timed. Relay legs can be any length and we will be using a “tag team format” where you can switch runners as often as you would like. Teams must complete approximately 47.6 laps, which is equivalent to a half marathon. All registrants will receive a long-sleeve performance shirt. The race is Friday, February 23, 2024 at 6:00 PM.
There will be a large refreshment station at one end of the track with Gatorade and water available to refill bottles. There are two turns of the track where teams may assemble and make exchanges. This area is for runners only.
The top three male, female and mixed teams will be given awards at the awards ceremony. We will also have awards for the top 3 high school boys teams and top 3 high school girls teams.
The race will be chip-timed. The scorer will use this to get lap counts for runners. There may be a scoreboard to display lap counts. Runners can also request a lap count when they go past the scorer’s table on the front stretch, and a volunteer will call of their count the next time around. Several running watches such as the Garmin Forerunner have lap tracking capabilities and runners are free to use those to keep track of laps.
The registration fee is $80 until December 31st and $100 per team after January 1st. The fee is non-refundable. We do allow you to switch runners after you have registered. To do this, please email us at pettitindoormarathon@gmail.com. Registration is closed.
The team captain will register themselves and additional members will join under the marathon relay team member registration area.
If a team member needs to be replaced prior to race-day, email pettitindoormarathon@gmail.com with the name and shirt size of the new runner and the name of the runner he/she will be replacing. It is not mandatory that you do this; you can just show up on race-day with your new team member(s), however, they may not get the shirt size they want.
All teams consisting of ONLY high school runners or younger, will receive a discount of 25% off registration for the half-marathon relay. Teams must sign-up under the team category of HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS to receive the discount as well as added to the high school division. All teams that do not receive an award in the highschool division will be added to the general teams awards
