Race Info

General Information

  1. The 26.2 mile (42.2 km) course is divided into six legs (sections).
  2. The race will begin with the first member of the team at the start line wearing the team sash.  The sash must be worn across the chest at all times by the runner.  The team member wearing the sash must run through the arch before giving the sash to the next runner.
  3. There will be five relay stations along the race course.  This is where team members must pass the sash to the person who will complete the next section.
  4. For teams with fewer than six members, one runner may complete more than one leg (section).  However, that runner must complete consecutive legs (sections).  For example, runner one can complete Legs 1 and 2, but not Legs 1 and 3.
  5. Every sash contains an electronic chip that will register at each relay station.  The electronic chip must be returned at the finish line.
  6. The cut-off time to complete legs 1, 2, and 3 is three hours, thus all teams must start leg 4 (Sandy Beach) by 8:30 AM.
  7. The cut-off time to complete the entire course is six hours.
