Join us for a day of running, camaraderie, and fun at the 45th Annual St. Louis Track Club Marathon Relay! Get your friends, family, or co-workers together to conquer the marathon distance in beautiful Tower Grove Park in St. Louis.
The Course
Teams will alternate running a scenic, roughly 3.2-mile loop on the east side of the park. This horseshoe-shaped route is perfect for spectators, allowing you to cheer on your runners at the start and halfway points of each loop (see map below). Together, you'll complete the full 26.2-mile marathon distance. 4-person and 2-person teams are available, as well as a solo option.
The start and finish line will be near the Son's of Rest Pavilion at the east end of the park. Restrooms will be available on site. Feel free to bring a pop up tent and chairs for your team's "home base" during the race. Each team will receive two gallon bottles of water to fill their own bottles and pre-packaged snacks will be available as well. Awards will go three deep in each category.
Registration
Teams will need to sign up as a group and a team captain must complete the registration and make the payment for the entire team. To receive the Track Club discount, the team member signing your group up must be a member. After choosing your category make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to add each additional team member where it says "add registrant". Waivers will be e-mailed to the other members of the team once registration is complete, so make sure to have your teammates' date of birth, mailing address and e-mail address handy when registering.
Team Types
Four-person teams must choose the type that best fits their group. Options include:
- 4-Person Jr. High
- 4-Person 80 & Under
- 4-Person 160+
- 4-Person 200+
- 4-Person Open Male
- 4-Person Open Female
- 4-Person Open Mixed

Junior High is for teams whose participants are in junior high/middle school. 80 and under means that the sum of your participants' ages will be 80 or less on race day. 160 + means that the sum will be 160 or greater and 200+ means the sum will be 200 or greater. Teams in these categories can be made up of all male, all female or mixed gender.
Open refers a team that doesn't fit into any of the other categories. There is also a Family category for those of you who want to share the race with your loved ones, and a Corporate category for that team building experience.
Two-person teams are also welcome, with each runner running a half marathon by the end. Two-person team options include:
- 2-Person Male

The solo category is a great option for those wanting a real challenge at a low cost!
