Orthopedic & Sports Institute of the Fox Valley

Relay Marathon
Sunday, September 21, 2008

Round up your family, friends, or co-workers and get in on the excitement of the marathon!  Relay teams are comprised of 2-5 people, each of whom runs one leg of the race and hand off the timing chip to the next runner at set relay exchange zones.

Team members will wear a timing chip on a Velcro® strap attached to their ankle and will hand off this timing chip to the next runner at designated Relay zones.  The Orthopedic & Sports Institute Relay Marathon starts at 8:00 a.m. and covers the entire marathon course.  Relay legs vary in distance (see below). 

All participants receive a custom printed short sleeve race shirt and a finisher’s medal to commemorate their race participation and finish at the 2008 Community First Fox Cities Marathon!

The first 600 participants registered will also receive a full goodie bag - so don't miss out - register today!

Relay Marathon Leg Distances & Exchange Information:

Relay Marathon Shuttles:                            
Lamers Bus Lines will provide transportation to the start line and relay exchange zones for all Relay Marathon team participants.  Shuttles will make several trips from each relay exchange zone to the finish line and will make the last trip when the last team has completed their leg.  If you prefer, you may also provide your own transportation.

Relay Shuttle Departure Times:

(All relay shuttles will load and depart from dowtown Neenah near the Bergstrom Towers on Wisconsin Ave.)
**Remember, only first leg runners take start line shuttle**

Bag & Tag:                                                                                            
Athletes who will be running the first leg may use the SCA Bag & Tag Service provided at the start line.  All other relay marathoners may use bags provided on each relay shuttle.  Bags with gear can be handed to your incoming teammate or marked with your name and transported to the Bag & Tag area at the finish line.

Timing/Results:
Teams will pass a timing chip from runner to runner using a Velcro® strap; the strap with the chip must be worn around the ankle.  At each exchange zone, one runner hands the chip to the next, who fastens it securely to his/her ankle before leaving the relay exchange zone.  Relay team results will be listed by overall team rank in Corporate, Male, Female, or Mixed divisions.

Awards:
The top three teams in each division (Corporate, Male, Female, & Mixed) will receive individual and team awards.
