Team Relay
Legg Mason Team Relay
One of the more popular races of the Baltimore Running Festival is the Team Relay. Running the same course as the marathoners, the Team Relay consists of FOUR participants per team with each runner selecting a portion of the marathon course to run. The legs vary in length from 5.9 to 7.1 miles.
Date: Saturday, October 10, 2009
Race Start: 8:00 AM
Start Line: Russell and Camden Streets
Race Limit: 850 teams
Restrictions: Participants in the Team Relay must be at least 14 years old.
Chip Timing: In 2009, the event utilized a new timing technology.The new system, which replaces ChampionChip, will utilize a light-weight disposable timing tag that will come attached to your race number. On race day, runners simply secure the D-Tag through their shoelaces and they are ready to run.
The D-tag technology offers runners a more streamlined race experience than the traditional chip system. D-Tags are attached to participant bib and clearly marked with the corresponding bib number. This eliminates the need to scan your chip at the expo. In addition, runners do not need to return the tag and can dispose of it at their convenience. This means no more sitting down to undo your shoe lace just after your run and it also means you no longer have to worry about the $30 charge for a lost chip.

Gatorade Endurance Formula also contains a 6% carbohydrate solution (14 grams per 8 ounces), just like Gatorade Thirst Quencher, which research shows is optimal to help speed fluid back into the body and fuel working muscles.
