3-person Relay
Since 2004, the Charleston Distance Run has offered a 3-person relay on our 15-mile course.
The splits for the relay are 3, 5, and 7 miles, and the exchanges take place in the middle of the South Side Bridge. The 3- and 7-mile segments are virtually flat, and the 5-mile segment goes through the hills. Participants must arrange their own transportation to/from the exchange point.
Each runner wears a unique bib, and all three bibs have the same timing chip number. The team will have one time for the entire course as well as split times at the 5-mile, 10-mile, and 13.1-mile split mats. The third runner will be given three medals at the finish line to share with the entire team. The competition is divded into three divisions: Men, Women, and Co-ed. Non-monetary prizes are awarded to the first place team in each divison.
A runner registered in the 15-mile race may also register for the relay and run the first leg wearing both bibs. Runner must register separately for both events.
