Have you ever considered running a relay? Running a relay is not just about enjoying a good run, but also about the experience, the team, and the adventure! Here are the top reason you should register for the Mankato Relay Marathon!
Running is better together!
Grab your friends, family, co-workers, classmates or acquaintances and start making memories. You’ll gain the chance to be part of a team that will work together to reach the finish line. If relay running delivers on anything, it almost always develops few good stories. Ah, memories…
Co-worker Team-Building
The goal is simple. Complete 26.2 miles as a team. The results are not controlled by one individual and the overall outcome is based on everyone’s contribution and effort. Energize and encourage your co-workers along the way and create sense of camaraderie with your colleagues. You may just get an unexpected experience of a lifetime!
Accountability and Motivation
Need that extra boost to keep you going? Having a team can help everyone hold each other accountable with an environment of encouragement. This is an opportunity to get a feel for the entire experience but only tackling part of the battle.
Run far, but not too far.
Not a fan of running 26.2 miles by yourself? Not to worry. Make it manageable and divide it up between you and three friends! Each runner will run between 6-7.25 miles as you work together to make it to the finish!
Ride in Style in Your Team’s Race-Mobile!
How often do you get the chance to get creative and show some team spirit? This is a perfect opportunity to show some team spirit with your Relay-Mobile! What is a Relay-Mobile you ask? Bust out your chalk markers and streamers to deck out your vehicle as you ride in style between exchange zones!
Sweet Swag!
It’s all about the swag and the Mankato Marathon has got it! Runners love the quality long sleeve ¼ zip jackets, special thanks to Bamco McDonalds for sponsoring the Mankato Marathon Swag!
And medals too!
Do you love racing for the bling? Runners look forward to receiving the Mankato Marathon Finisher Medals sponsored by Consolidated Communications at the finish line!
Ring that PR Bell!
Relay races motivate you to do your absolute best. Whether you’re shooting for your own personal record or your team’s best time, the PR (Personal Best) Bell sponsored by Land to Air is waiting fort you!
Time to Celebrate!
What better way to celebrate the accomplishment of crossing the finish line by entering the Scheels Post Race Party!? Enjoy fun activities and games, delicious food and stop by the selfie station for a perfect team photo op with your new swag and medal! Finishers 21+ can head over to the Mankato Brewery tent for the first celebratory beer!
There is something special about sharing your hard-earned accomplishments with friends.
