WHAT IS THE RELAY MARATHON?
Not ready for the whole 26.2 miles? Then sign up for the Little Rock Marathon Relay. Teams of four individuals representing corporations, schools, churches, civic groups, friends or families can form a team for the Little Rock Marathon Relay. Your team can run, walk or do a combination.

Relay teams are composed of four individuals. Each member of the team completes his/her segment of the 26.2-mile marathon course, and then hands the timing device to the next team member at a set relay exchange. Segments are as follows:

	Start Location	Finish Location	Mileage
	Start Line	Main Post Office	6.2 miles
1)	Main Post Office	AR State Capitol	6.9 miles
2)	AR State Capitol	Murray Park (2nd Entrance)	7.8 miles
3)	Murray Park	Finish Line	5.3 miles

Exchange zones are set up like a finish line with post race refreshments and medal presentation. Transportation is provided to and from exchange zone 2 and 3. Team members going to these zones are required to use our transportation. See shuttle section for details.

PACE TEAM
Veteran marathoners will again act as our volunteer pace leaders. The pace team is organized by target finish time, beginning with three hours and continuing in 15-minute increments through a finish time of six hours. There is are 6, 7 and 8 hour pacers at the early start. 

TIMING
The IPICO Timing Tag will be utilized during the 2010 Little Rock Marathon to ensure that all race participants receive an accurate time. For more information on the IPICO Timing Tag please visit Ipico Sports website. There is a $20 fee for all unreturned tags.

START LINE/START CORRALS
Invited athletes will line up in the front of the start area in a secure area (aka corral). After the invited athlete corral, secure corrals for seeded placement begin. The corral system is designed to offer a quicker and smoother start for all athletes race morning.  Assignment to start corrals is based on submitted qualifying finishing time in a recent marathon, half marathon or 10K (see qualifying standards and procedures below) and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The team captain should submit the team's estimated finish time and not his/her finish time on his/her segment. Your team must qualify to be placed in Corral A or Corral B.

Corral A and B are now closed. 

Seeded Qualifying Times:
	Team's	Team's
	Total Time	Average Pace
Corral A (closed)	3:20:59	7:39:33
Corral B (closed)	3:45:59	8:37:14
Corral C	4:00:59	9:11:47
Corral D	4:30:59	10:20:12
Open Corral	NA

If you do not give an estimated finish time for your team, your team will be automatically assigned to the Open corral. Don’t panic, all races are timed with a timing system (the thing on your shoe) so you will know your net time regardless of your start corral. The Open Corral is also secure area for participants only and for those athletes that do not qualify for a faster corral. Finish times in the Open Corral range from 4:31 – 6:00 hours.
