HOW IT WORKS
Leg #1 | Start Line – Newport News Park
Relay Exchange Zone – Menchville High School 13.1 Miles
The team member running the first half of the marathon will line up at the start line with the full marathon participants. The team member running the second half of the marathon will go to Menchville High School (half marathon start) and will start their run when runner #1 arrives with the timing device.
Finishing relay runners will receive their medal and light food and beverages at the exchange point. Shuttle buses will be used to transport finishing runners to the finish line where they can wait for their teammate.
Because of limited space within the corral area, make note of your teammates pace so you will know the approximate time to expect them. Signage will be place on the course indicating the approaching relay exchange area. As the runners approach the relay exchange areas, crowd control devices will be used to direct runners into the relay chute.
