Event Description A marathon distance running relay with your friends! Complete 26.2 miles with 1 or 2 of your favorite running or rucking buddies (or someone you just met). The course is a 3 loop course that starts, ends and exchanges all in the same spot. The Atlantic Ocean is nearby the entire time, breathe in that salt air and breathe out all of your worries. The loop course came about due to permitting restrictions in 2020 and ended up being a huge hit. No worrying about driving to each exchange, less sidewalk and more shade. Not to mention the added feel of an event by being in the same transition area all day with all of the other runners! How does the relay work? Create your team of 2-3 runners or ruckers, decide who will run when, (come up with costumes?), and run a marathon, relay style! One person from each team runs at a time, the others hang out in the transition area recovering, relaxing and making memories with everyone around. Then comes the hand off to the next
runner/rucker. Repeat cheering, support, good times. Keep up this relay style running for 26.2 miles until your adventure concludes at the finish line party. Collect your hard earned finishers gift, have a cold beverage, eat some food. * Solo Marathon We have added this distance as well for those that wanted to tackle the entire distance solo, you will run the loops in order just like the relay teams do as well. There is a 6 1/2 hours cut off time for the marathon. 6k Info Come out and run 3.7 miles through the beautiful Mala Compra Trails. The course is a loop, which starts and ends at the Hammock Community Center.
