A Marathon Relay is a team event where participants collectively complete the distance of a full marathon, which is 26.2 miles. Each team member runs a designated segment of the race, typically ranging from 2 to 6 miles, depending on the number of runners in the team. This format allows runners of varying abilities to participate and enjoy the experience of a marathon.
Marathon relays are often held during larger marathon events, encouraging camaraderie and teamwork. They can be a fun way for friends, families, or coworkers to bond while promoting fitness and healthy competition. Many races also offer medals and prizes for top teams.
