HOW DOES IT WORK?

Each team member runs their leg wearing the team's bib before passing it on to the next runner in the designated relay zone at the aid station.

The order specified at registration is flexible and can be changed before the race without any additional formalities.

And because a team marathon deserves a team finish, meet up after the final leg to cross the finish line together at Martigny Expo!
