The Geneva Half Marathon Relay is a two-runner adventure all its own. The relay involves two runners. RUNNER 1 will run RELAY SEGMENT 1 and RUNNER 2 will run RELAY SEGMENT 2 of the 13.1 Mile Course.
The Course is divided into two segments. RUNNER 1 Segment (5.7 ish MILES) and RUNNER 2 Segment (7.4 ish MILES)
RUNNER 1 will start the race and run the first 7.4ish-miles of gradually inclined City and Country Roads that are marked, and volunteer assisted. At the bottom of Slate Rock Road RUNNER 1 will hand off the slap bracelet to RUNNER 2 at the transition point. Volunteers and a tent are there to assist you. Here RUNNER 1 will have the ability to use a potty, get a drink and cheer on RUNNER 2 as they tackle the backside of the course. RUNNER 1 will then retrieve the car that was parked at the top of hill and proceed to the finish line waiting for RUNNER 2.
At the 7.4ish-mile transition, RUNNER 2 will start their leg of the race that will take them on 5.7ish-mile journey that encompasses several gradual inclines/declines over the next 3 Miles. You will head back into the City of Geneva and cross the finish line at the same place you started. RUNNER 1 should meet you somewhere around MILE 13 and cross the finish line with you.
RUNNER 2 should see their RUNNER 1 off at the start line located @ Lakefront Park. As RUNNER 1 is on the course, RUNNER 2 should proceed to the parking area just located off SLATE ROCK ROAD/TURK ROAD around mile 7. Volunteers and signage will be visible. RUNNER 2 will then proceed down Slate Rock Road and wait for their partner at the transition area.
Yes! We wouldn’t have it any other way.
Runner # 2 - It will also be listed on the bib.
