Manitoba Marathon Relay Information

Welcome to the 2012 Manitoba Marathon Relay

It is fantastic that you have completed the journey of becoming a relay participant.  Now it is time for your parents to get you to the race on time.  Here are some helpful parent hints:

• Do a practice run of where the starting point of your relay leg is.  Drive to this spot and time it from your house.  Expect delays as traffic will be detoured on Race Day.  The maps below are linked to the map in your race package.  
• READ the race package.  It has excellent ideas about where to park and how to get to the exchange zones.
• I have erred on the side of being to fast in my time estimates.  As the race progresses my times may be very fast.  Expect to wait up to an hour if the weather is hot and the runners run slower than expected.
• Our relays all are between 5066 and 5072.  In each exchange zone there will be signs with numbers (0-200, 1000 to 2000 etc) Please have the Sargent Park Students standing in between the sign markers that are appropriate for numbers 5066 and 5072).
• Pin the relay number to the front of a singlet or cool t-shirt.  Make sure it is in a position that does not cause rubbing or discomfort.
•  Make sure that they drink lots of fluid on a hot day.
• If one relay member does not show up the entire team is unable to race.  Have a cell number of the member ahead and behind you in the relay. If you wait and no one shows up you either run an extra leg or call ahead and tell them that the team has been disqualified.
• There is lots of food and refreshments after the relay leg. Take advantage of these snacks and drinks.

Here are the relay teams and their expected finishing times. Click on the image for a larger view.
The purple times are very important.  That is when you NEED to be at the start of your relay leg. This time should give you plenty of time to be there before the previous runner arrives.  Please be at the relay exchange by that time.

Timing Chip 

The first runner receives a timing chip.  It is a number attached to a belt.  This belt must be passed to each relay runner.  Without this belt the time will not register and we will not receive a time.  It is very important that each runner continue with the belt.  It is simple to wear and goes around their waist.  At the relay exchange zone please ensure that the belt gets passed from one relay member to the next.

I have included maps on where the start and finish is for each relay leg.  Please look at them carefully. I will include all runners doing that leg in the information.
