How it Works
Build Your Team
Each marathon relay team will consist of 10-26 members. Visit the registration page (linked above) to see how to signup.
Divide and Conquer
One race day, each team can have only one runner on the track at a time. Each leg will consist of 8 laps (roughly 1 mile), except for the leg. Every runner on your team is required to run at least once and no runner can run more than three legs total.
Run the Marathon (Together!)
Your team will take on running 211 laps total on a 200m indoor track. Each runner will start and end their run around the track with a high five with their teammate in the exchange zone by the starting line. The exchange zone will be clearly marked so you know exactly where to step on and off the track for your turn.
Celebrate at the TRACK
After the race is over, enjoy some food and drinks in the infield. This event isn’t just a race it’s also a kickoff celebration for an entire weekend of marathon festivities!

FAQs
I know a marathon is 26.2 miles long, how does that translate to an indoor track?
The TRACK at New Balance features a state of the art, speedy 200m indoor track which means to complete a marathon, you and your team will have to complete a cumulative 211 laps.
How many people can I have on my team?
Each team must have at least 10 runners and can max out at 26 runners. Individual runners are not allowed to compete.
How do I start and end my turn?
There will be a clearly marked exchange zone by the start/finish line on the track. Starting and completing your turn in this zone will help keep runners on the track safe and help make sure you get an accurate official split for your run. Teammates should be “tagging” each other in the exchange zone with a high five to begin/complete their run.
How do I register for this race?
All teams interested in competing must fill out the form on the registration page. If your team is selected you will be required to have all members of your team signup on runsignup.com. All team members need to complete registration to sign the event waiver. You’ll have the option to create a group/team or join an existing group/team using the team name at registration.
What does race day look like?
You and your team should arrive at the track at least an hour ahead of the race start time. This will give you time to settle in, complete packet pickup for your team, distribute runner bibs and hip numbers, and complete your pre-race routine. All runners should have their racing bibs and hip numbers on and visible for the entirety of the race. You and your team should be present by the track 15 minutes before the start for racing instructions.
I want to register a co-ed team, is this allowed?
Yes! If you have a mix of male or female team members in mind, you’re more than welcome to register. If you want a shot at a prize, then each gender has to run a cumulative 100 laps of the 211 lap race.
Are there any minimum or maximum distances for each team member? Is there a minimum or maximum number of times a team member can run?
Each “leg” or every time a runner steps on the track they will be required to run 8 laps (roughly 1 mile). Every runner on the team is required to run at least one leg and no runner may complete more than three legs.
Is there a time cutoff?
Yes. The event will end at 8:00pm. Teams are required to complete the marathon in under 4 hours. Any team that has not completed 211 laps in 4 hours will not receive an official finish time.
