Inaugural Half Marathon Team Relay
Registration Information
2009 Participant Reviews
With our 5th year anniversary comes a new monumental opportunity; this year, participants will have the option to run in the CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield National Half Marathon as a three-person relay team! The relay event will be divided into five categories:
- Open Relay
- Run Club Relay
- Corporate Relay
- Family Relay
- Active Military Relay
The relay's three legs are 5 miles, 5 miles and 3.1 miles in distance, respectively. All are welcome to run. Qualifiying for the Team Relay requires that the team verify that the combined times of all three runners meet the Half Marathon standard of 2.5 HOURS OR LESS.. There are a limited number of spaces and they will go very quickly so be sure to register your relay team early!
Register now to secure a spot for your team!
Please note, relay teams must be made up of THREE (3) DIFFERENT PEOPLE...two (2) person teams are not allowed.

"I am a native and loved seeing all four quadrants of the city shine. It helped that the weather was beautiful. The course had a few hills but just enough to give the legs some variety. The management was impressive. Being able to wait indoors in the Armory was a fantastic treat (thank you!). I'd definitely recommend it. I am looking forward to running it again next year." - J.M. from Washington, DC
"This is an excellent course for any first-time, second-time, or 50th-time runners. This was the first time I had ever run a marathon and I actually forgot that I was running 26.2 miles. There are so many wonderful sights to see, and the race was well organized. I was completely at peace the whole time I was running. I would highly recommend others to run this course." - D.A. from Houston, TX
Thank you and good luck in your preparation for the 2010 Half Marathon Team Relay!!!
