RELAY TEAM INFO


As this is only our 2nd year having Relay Teams, we are still  getting our feet wet.  Since the "Last Train to Boston" Marathon is a 4-loop course,  it seems "natural" to have 4- person teams.  We may modify this approach in the future but for now we want to make it simple for us in the beginning.

For now, we would like to keep the Last Train Relay
unique by having 4-person teams..  

We realize that you may have questions that we have not forseen.  Please feel free to tell us your Concerns, Questions and Recommendations.    We also ask for your patience while we improve the process.


Specifics:   Each of the 4 team members will run 1 Loop (6.55 miles).   You do not have to specify ahead of time which leg of the relay your team members will run.

Categories:

               Men's Team - 4 males

               Women's Team - 4 females

               Co-Ed Team  -  At least 2 Females

Medals:   All Team Members will receive Finishers Medals.

NOTE:    There have been several inquiries on whether 2 or 3 runners can make up a Relay Team.  This is a tough dilemma for us.   We understand that it's not always easy to get 4 Team members.  We also understand that some runners would like to run 1/2 marathon rather than just 1/4 marathon.   

However, because we are just beginning to develop the Relay  and bring back the  "Last Train to Boston"  Marathon to a quality race status (after it's 4-year hiatus [1996-1999]),   we frankly want to make the relay as straight forward as possible for the volunteers and race directors (who are also volunteers).    We also feel that 4-runner teams will promote some real friendly competition.

For now, we're going to go with th 4 person teams.  If you want to form a team with only 2 or 3 runners, the team cost will still be the same - $100 per team to Feb 13th and $125 starting on Feb 14th..

Thank you again for your understanding as we grow.
