SARR Great Greenway Marathon Relay
The SARR Great Greenway Marathon Relay is a point-to-point team relay covering 26.2 miles along the Howard Peak Greenway System and Salado Creek in San Antonio at the edge of the Texas Hill Country. The course begins at the Rim Trailhead off Vance Jackson Road and finishes at the McAllister Dog Park trailhead. The route is shaded and passes through multiple parks along the Greenway.
Teams consist of a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 runners who divide the marathon into five relay legs of varying length. Each team member must register separately and either create or join a team; the stated registration fee is $40.00 per person. Participants must be at least 14 years old. There is a 7-hour time limit for the marathon and marathon relay course.
Race rules require each runner to carry the team baton while running; the fifth-leg runner must wear the red race bib. Teams must finish every leg to remain eligible. Teams with a runner using a baby stroller or running with a pet are not eligible for awards. Packets must be picked up on designated dates prior to race day; there is no race day packet pickup and one person may pick up for an entire team. Batons are distributed at the start line.
Awards are presented to the top three teams in each category: Junior (ages 14-20), Open (all male, all female, mixed), Masters (40+), and Super Masters (50+). Mixed categories must include at least two female runners per team. Additional awards recognize best team shirts and best team name. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
