Looking ahead to the Charleville Half-Marathon Relay event...Sun 18th Sept

While a good many runners will be taking part in various Half-Marathon races at this time of year, there may be those of you not interested in running 13.1 miles or may find that it is beyond your distance at present.

One unique feature of the Charleville Half-Marathon this year is that it includes a Relay Team event. Modelled roughly on the Cork City Marathon Relay, the 13.1 mile or 21.1 km course is split up into 4 stages, each roughly 5 kms long.

Considering how flat the course is, this would be suitable for any runner just starting off but may be intimidated from taking part in a large event.

You can have a team composed of 2, 3 or 4 runners.

As you can see from the course map above, the 1st and 3rd changeover points are the same. This opens  up several possibilites as you decide who will run each leg.

There are seperate prizes also for the relay event.

More details about the Charleville Half-Marathon and ways to enter can be found in this earlier post.

Just remember, the closing date for the cheapest entries is Sunday, the 4th of September.
