St. Louis Track Club Marathon Relay
The St. Louis Track Club Marathon Relay takes place in Tower Grove Park, utilizing a course on the east side of the park. Participants complete a total distance of 26.2 miles by running multiple laps on a horseshoe-shaped route that is approximately 3.2 miles long. The start and finish line is located near the Sons of Rest Pavilion.
The event offers several participation options for individuals and groups:
- Solo Marathon (26.2 miles)
- 2 Person Relay (26.2 miles)
- 4 Person Relay (26.2 miles)
- 5-8 Person Relay Party Pack (26.2 miles)
The course layout allows spectators to see runners at the start and the halfway point of every loop. For relay teams, each member is required to run at least one lap, while the remaining laps can be distributed among team members as desired. In the 5-8 person division, having eight members results in each person running approximately one 5K distance.
The site includes access to restrooms and a designated area where teams can set up pop-up tents and chairs to create a home base. Each team is provided with two gallons of water and pre-packaged snacks. Awards are presented to the top three finishers in each category. Competitive categories for the 4-person teams are based on age sums, gender, or affiliations such as corporate and family groups.
Registration must be completed by a team captain for the entire group. Packet pickup is available on the day prior to the race at a local running store or at the pavilion on the morning of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
