Many people feel that they cannot run all 26.2 miles of a marathon. The Achilles Marathon features a Relay Division, ensuring that anyone who can walk or run as few as 3.35 miles can participate! Best of all, relay team members can all raise money for the team's charity. Proceeds go to the team's chosen organization.
Form a Team
We encourage you to form a team made up of 4 or 8 friends, family members and/or coworkers and split the race into comfortable and manageable distances. If your company or non-profit organization wants to form teams, see the appropriate link in this section for more information (links at left or bottom of the page).
THE 4-PERSON RELAY:
Each participant completes 6.7 miles (2 loops)
Race fee: $80 ($20 per person) / $90 after April 18, 2003
THE 8-PERSON RELAY:
Each participant completes 3.35 miles (1 loop)
Race fee: $80 ($10 per person) / $90 after April 18, 2003
What to do with your team pledges:
After the marathon, each team member should collect any outstanding pledges and turn them in to the Captain. The Captain is responsible for collecting team members' pledge forms and funds raised and then sending them to the chosen non-profit or to Achilles by May 31, 2003.
