Sri Chinmoy Mara-Fun Relays : Centennial Park, Sydney
The Sri Chinmoy Mara-Fun Relays stage the full marathon distance of 42.2 km in Centennial Park, with options to run solo or in relay teams of 2 to 4 members. The course uses a 4 km loop around the park's ponds and groves; the full marathon comprises ten full loops plus an initial partial loop of 2.2 km for a total of 11 legs.
Relay teams carry a timing chip attached to a baton and must hand the baton to the next runner inside the designated change-over zone at the end of each loop. No team runner may run consecutive legs; each member must complete at least one leg and may complete up to six. Teams record their runner order on a form issued at registration and return it with the baton at race completion. A fee applies for unreturned batons or timing chips.
On-course support includes a refreshment station supplying water, sports drink and fruit approximately every 2 km. Electronic chip timing provides full split times for every leg. Divisions and award categories cover Solo Male and Female age groups and Relay divisions (All-Female, Mixed, Open), with age-based categories including All-Ages, All-Over 50 and All-Over 60. All solo finishers receive medallions, and a post-event pancake breakfast is provided for participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
