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 95.1 laps, which is equivalent to a full 26.2 mile marathon. All registrants will receive a specially-designed shirt. The race starts at 2:00 PM Saturday, February 13, 2027.
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, masters male, masters female and mixed teams will be given awards at the awards ceremony. New this year, the first place team in each division also receives a dozen Grebe’s Crullers.
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 $160 per team until December 31st and $190 after December 31st. 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
The team captain will register themselves and additional members will join under the marathon relay team member registration area.
