The Nitty Gritty
Each team will be given one timing chip on a Velcro ankle band that must be worn during the race. Runners should wear a sock under the band to protect the ankle from chaffing. Each relay runner will pass the ankle band to the next relay runner after crossing the timing mats at the relay exchange point. Do not cross the timing mat more than once. We suggest the outgoing runner test the strap for security before starting.
All leadoff runners start at the same time as the other marathon runners – 6:30 a.m. There is not a separate start for the Relay Teams. Relay runners on the second, third, and fourth legs will need to be at their respective exchange zones well before the first marathon runners pass by, as roads will be closed.
Transportation from the Frederick Fairgrounds to the exchange points will be provided for the second and fourth runners.
Transportation from the exchange points back to The Fairgrounds will be provided.
