Rockin’ Marathon Relay- Saturday May 4th (Note change of venue to WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary)

Team up with some friends and take on a marathon! The Rockin’ Marathon Relay offers the opportunity to gather a team to conquer a full marathon, all the while enjoying music and a fun party atmosphere at the relay exchange zone! Without a doubt, this will the most fun you’ll ever have running a marathon!

Here’s how Rockin’ Marathon Relay works: every course is set up as a loop of only 1.2 – 2.2 miles, so it’s all contained in a small area (not like your typical marathon that can spread across an entire city). You and your friends create a team of 2, 3, or 4 members and then you alternate relay laps (one time around the small loop course) until the full marathon distance is completed. While one team member is out taking their turn on a lap around the course, the rest of the team is having a good time at the relay exchange zone. The exchange zone is one big party – enjoy music, food, and socialize with teammates and competitors alike – but be ready for when you next take the hand-off for your team!

For those of you who are bold enough to try the full marathon on a loop course alone, you can run the Rockin’ Marathon Relay solo!

First off, we’d like to say a big Thank You to everyone who came out to run in the first race of the Series. We hope you had a great time and enjoyed the good weather, good food and fantastic costumes! We’d also like to say thanks to everyone for supporting the Food Drive- on a goal of 300 lbs of food you all brought in 365 lbs, or the equivalent of 307 meals!! Thanks again- there are a lot of people less fortunate who will benefit from your generosity, and we appreciate it.

***Awards and T-shirts***  For those of you who did not register in time to get a T-shirt, they are being printed this week and will be available either late this week or right after Christmas. Please contact us via e-mail at rtpfitness1@gmail.com or come by RTP Fitness to get your shirt.

We’d also like to recognize and say thanks to Lt. Aleem and the Durham County Sheriff’s for their help in closing off the roads and keeping everyone safe; the Parkwood Volunteer Fire Dept for the EMT support (which thankfully we didn’t need!); Al Grandy at DOT for his guidance, and Charlie Rhodes for his patience and mentorship- thanks one and all!

Finally, we’d like to say a very special thanks to our Race Director Jen Chon, who did a fantastic job in her first race and under a tight deadline and difficult circumstances- she kept all the plates spinning no matter what we threw at her, and never lost her cool or lost that big smile for everyone. We can’t wait to see what she has in store for the next races in the Series…
