Marathon Relay
Run for Life is pleased to offer schools the opportunity to stage a fun and engaging event.
The Marathon Relay is a continuous 42.1km run held on a 200m track at your school. Teams in the relay are made up of 10 participants and each team member is responsible for running 21 of the 210 laps of the relay. Can your team break three hours? Schools may wish to create some fun battles… perhaps a classroom challenge, teachers vs. the students race, or invite other schools to join you as you chase a common goal.
The first 15 schools to host a 2012 Marathon Relay event will receive free of charge:
- A Marathon Relay starter kit and instruction guide
- Directions to measure your own 200m running track or ‘field of dreams’ (this activity makes for an interesting hands-on geometry project)
- 25 complimentary Run for Life t-shirts
- A Marathon Relay 210 lap counter for each team
- 25 pedometers
- A relay baton for each team
- Completion certificates for all participants
- A pair of shoes, technical shirt, and running cap for teacher champion.
