Marathon Relay: Ultimate Team Event!
MONDAY 3 MAY 2027
The Marathon Relay pits teams of four runners (adults only 17+) against each other, with each competitor running 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. Teams compete to be seen as the fittest or the fastest. These titles represent an enviable PR title and bragging rights that last a year! This opportunity does not come around every day and should not be missed.
