MARQUETTE MARATHON RELAY

Saturday, September 4th, 7:30 am

Due to popular demand, the 3-runner Marquette Marathon RELAY is BACK!

​

You'll start and be running alongside the marathon runners. We will have 2 exchange zones along the course.

​

Leg #1 - 8.4 miles COURSE

Leg #2 - 9.85 miles (18.25) COURSE

Leg #3 - 7.95 miles (26.2) COURSE

​​​

When deciding which runner on your team will run which leg, please note that Leg #2, though the longest leg, is the easiest of the 3. Legs 1 and 3 are of equal difficulty. Please refer to the course map and elevation chart for runner placement.

​

Your team will be chip-timed, and each runner will receive a shirt and a Marquette Marathon RELAY medal. You will also be in the running for team awards!

​​

Marathon RELAY course map is posted HERE.

​

From Start to Finish: Net Elevation Drop of 814 feet.

​

Awards will be presented to the Top 3 Men's, Women's, and co-ed teams.

​

Your first runner may either take the bus or be dropped off at the Marquette Marathon RELAY start, though your next 2 runners will need to be dropped off. 

​

Your runner participating in the first leg (first 8.4 miles) gets on the shuttle in the morning to the starting line. The other two racers should plan on getting themselves to their respective starting lines around the pace that the first and second runners are expected to hit their handoff marks.

The runner participating in the second leg (9.85 miles, 18.25 total) parks just off the roundabout crossing at the M35 / 492 crossing (on the race map, there isn't a roundabout yet because it is brand new). There will be a labeled hand-off section nearby.

The runner participating in the third and final leg (7.95, 26.2 total) parks downtown Marquette near the 'Marquette Fire Bell' on Lakeshore Ave, as this is where the next relay handoff will be. There is plenty of parking downtown Marquette. 

​

* The Marquette Marathon RELAY has an entry limit of 50 teams! Grab a couple of friends and sign up early!​
