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!  

Each relay team must enter in one of the following divisions:

  • Corporate Division - any combination of male or female employees from a company or non-profit organization
  • Male Division - all relay team members must be male
  • Female Division - all relay team members must be female
  • Mixed Division - relay teams may be comprised of any combination of males and females
