Relay
Once again, the WPS Half Marathon is pleased to offer the 2-person relay portion to our race. Should you feel that you are not quite ready to run the entire 1/2 marathon, or wish to run or walk a portion of the event, the RELAY is just for you. We have added additional relay spots to our race this year as the relay portion of our event always sells out first.
The relay consists of 2 runners/walkers. Each person will complete one portion of the event. When registering, the person who registers as Runner/Walker #1, will complete the first portion of the run and will start the race, the person registered as Runner/Walker #2 will complete the second portion of the event. Runner/Walker #2 will wait for their partner in a specially designated area called the Relay Exchange Zone which is located at roughly the half way portion of the race. It is there that you will meet and Runner/Walker #2 will finish the second portion of the race. We will also have an area sectioned off close to the finish line where runners/walkers can meet prior to crossing the finish line so you can cross together to celebrate your accomplishment. Once you cross the finish line, you will receive a very unique medal that breaks apart so you each have a piece to share!
Please note, it is very important to wear your timing chip on your ankle. We will provide you with a neoprene band that simply velcros to your ankle. DO NOT carry the chip in your hand as you risk the timing mats not picking up your signal as you cross – which results in NO TIME. Once the chip is handed off to the second runner, be sure to take the time to attach the chip to your ankle as well.
