The Potting Shed Relay Information
Relay points have been re-established so that the 4 person teams finish at the half marathon finish. This means that each leg will now be approximately 5K. However, you can have a 2 person or 3 person relay team if you wish by contacting Alex directly at marathoncanada@live.com. Your cost per runner stays the same!!
Package Pickup: Shirts can be picked up the week before with race #s at Alex Coffin's Fitness Shop. On Saturday, October 13, you can pick up your shirt with race #s from 9am until 2pm at the Rothesay Java Moose. It will then be moved to the Union Street Vitos from 5pm until 7pm. On race day, there will still be pickup at the start line.
We may have a special prize if a 2 person team manages to win over a 4 person team. There will be awards for mixed, male and female relay teams.
