EXCELLENT TEAM EVENT
The Marathon Relay takes place on the same day as the Milton Keynes Marathon event, pitting teams of four runners (adults only 17+) against each other, each competitor running a leg of approximately 10km.
The relay event is open to businesses, charities, clubs, or even groups of friends and is characterised by a strong element of friendly competition as teams compete to be seen as the fittest or the fastest. These titles represent not only an enviable PR title but also bragging rights that last for a full year.
This opportunity does not come around every day and is something not to be missed. Race bibs will need to be collected by the Team Captain on the morning of the race.
Team changes can be made up until 21st April at midnight. Please email us if you need us to cancel a team member to allow you to recruit someone else. You can then report any further team changes to the Relay HQ on race day. Team members can run in any order, but the team bibs must be used in sequence A, B, C then D.

BEAUTIFUL COURSE
We’re blessed with a tremendous amount of natural beauty in Milton Keynes, and we’re also lucky to have a world-class system of cycle paths known as redways. We do our best to take advantage of those factors to give our runners a course that is scenic, interesting, inspiring, fun to run, fast, and different from other marathons. Changeover points will be at 10 km, 14 miles, and 20 miles.
MEDAL & TEE
Get your team together and take on 26.2 miles on 1 May to earn your team’s fabulous dark blue version! Our new medal design celebrates MK’s recent city status.
EARN EXTRA MEDALS
Participate in an event on Sunday (Rocket 5K or Turing 10K) and on the Bank Holiday Monday (Half, Marathon, or Relay) and you will receive our coveted third medal – the MK Challenge Medal.🏅
RAISE MONEY FOR CHARITY
In addition to the regular training that you will need to do to complete your leg of the relay event, we’re asking all our relay teams to raise some money for their favorite charity.
