Team Relay Training Plan

TEAM RELAY TRAINING

The Team Relay event follows the same route as the Marathon and is perfect if you are exploring an interest in running.  It is split into five parts (legs) with approximate distances ranging from 4 miles to 6.9 miles.

  • Are you a novice runner and would like to join family, friends or work colleagues to form a relay team at this year's Mash Direct Belfast City Marathon?
  • Perhaps you don't run at all and are unsure of where to start with your training?

Better have provided a 10 week plan to help you train for a 5K (3 mile) distance comfortably and safely. 

Already able to run 5K?  Just keep adding on a comfortable distance as per the training plan until you reach your team relay training goal.

And don’t forget to register your team before the middle rate ends on 28th February!
