Did You Know There's a Relay Option for the First Watch Sarasota Half Marathon?

8/9/2019

Disclaimer: I’m promoting First Watch Sarasota Half & Relay as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to find and write race reviews.

Did you know you can split a half marathon with a friend at the First Watch Sarasota Half on October 20th?

​That's right, grab a running friend and share the miles. Each person runs half the race, then you run the .1 mile together! Cross that finish line as a team and claim your huge dolphin medals! 

Psst! There's a discount code for the half and relay at the end of this post.

How to Register a Relay Team

Each person on the relay team must sign up. The first one to register creates the team name and becomes the team captain. The captain pays the team's entry fee.

The second member of the team must know the team name so they choose it when they register.

What Relay Teams Get Before the Race

Each 2-person team receives:
  • 3 race bibs
  • 1 race belt
There is one bib for each runner, plus a third bib that contains the timing chip. Attach the bib with the timing chip to the race belt.

​The belt and timing bib MUST be worn by the first runner, then transferred to the second runner in the RELAY EXCHANGE AREA.

NOTE: You can return the timing belt at the end of the race to avoid a $5 fee.

Relay Starting Locations

1. Team Member 1 runs about 6 miles from the start to the exchange area. This person begins at the starting line.

2. Team Member 2  runs about 7 miles. This person reports to the Relay Exchange Area on US 41 and 10th. The exchange area is walking distance from the start of the race.
  • Signage indicates where Team Member 2 should wait for Team Member 1.
  • Team Member 2 runs the remaining 7.3 miles from the exchange to the finish. Team Member 1 can join them at the same transition area then finish the last .1 miles of the race together.  This is a great photo opportunity to cross the finish line together as a team. You don't need to swap bibs again since you'll finish together.

Relay Exchange Area

Picture
100 yards before the relay exchange Team Member 1 will see an arrow exchange sign. Prepare early and stay to your right.

Team Member 2 will be waiting in their area. Once the chipped bib is transferred, Team Member 2 is ready continue on the course. Water is available for Team Member 1 at this point.
​

Finish Together Meet-up Area

Picture
​At the Finish Together Meet-up Area, Team Member 1 should wait to join Team Member 2.

​You DO NOT need to exchange chips again.

It is recommended that you finish together to ensure you both receive your participant medals and have your photo taken together as you cross the finish line.

Discount Code for $10 OFF the Relay

The First Watch Half, Relay or 10K always sells out, so register early to earn the huge dolphin medal! 🐬 ​

The Sarasota Half & Relay and 10K are on October 20, 2019. Use "BRSARASOTA19" for $10 OFF the Half or Relay; $5 OFF the 10K. Register at SarasotaHalfMarathon.com 🐬

See you at the starting line!
