Team Relay Event

One of the exciting aspects of the Bord Gáis Energy Cork City Marathon is the Team Relay, which really makes this The Marathon for Everyone! The relay offers runners, joggers and walkers of all distances an opportunity to take part in the marathon without having to complete the full 26.2 miles. If you're over 18 on the day you're included and, remember, there's no upper age limit!

• The team can be made up of between 2 and 5 runners
• Teams can be mixed or all male/all female
• Each Team appoints one member as a Captain, who will be the point of contact for the race organisers.
• Only one entry form per team is required - the Team Captain must fill this out. The form is the same as for the individual marathon, but additional details must be filled in for the Relay.  
• As with the individual marathon, all team members must be 18 years of age or older on 7th June 2010.
• REGISTRATION: At least one member of each relay team must register in Cork City Hall on either Saturday 5th or Sunday 6th June 2010. You’ll pick up your team’s race pack there.

• On RACE DAY, Shuttle Buses will be available at City Hall to take you to your outlying changeover points. You may, of course, make your own way to your changeover but remember that there are traffic restrictions in place throughout the day. We’ll issue a bus first-and-last timetable closer to race day. Arrive early at City Hall and allow plenty of time to get to your changeover position. Calculate how quickly your preceding team mate will complete their section; allow at least a half hour at your changeover position to find your appropriate section, to warm up, change gear, and just to savour the atmosphere. Remember, if you don’t make it to your changeover on time, your team won’t be able to complete the race.
