Bristol Half & Half Marathon

Relay Information

Running the same course as the half marathon, the team relay consists of 2 participants per team with each running either the 1st or 2nd half of the course (roughly 7.0 miles for the first leg, and 6.1 miles for the second leg). Teams have the option of one team member running the entire half marathon as an individual runner, and the other team member running only the 2nd leg. The relay will run concurrent with the half marathon and will start at 8am at Virginia High.

Individuals Running The First Leg Of The Relay – If your relay team has a team member who is running the entire half marathon, that team member MUST register as an individual half marathoner, and will of course run the first leg of the relay and keep going after handing off to the second team member. There will be a question during the registration process where that team member can enter their relay team name.

Bib Numbers, Anklets – Each relay team will be issued two team bibs with one team number (i.e. two bibs with bib number 1001). Team members will pass an anklet from one team member to the next which contains your timing tag. This allows each team to receive their start, exchange zone (Mile 7), and finish time. For best results, please wear the anklet on your ankle with the timing tag on the outside of your ankle, and do not put the timing bracelet in your pocket or under any articles of clothing. Be sure bib #’s are clearly visible on the front or your shirt.
