If you always envied the baton-passers back in high school, here's your chance to run a relay and see Denver while you're at it. Explore three of Denver's best urban parks on foot with the help of three friends, a good team attitude, and a race entry into the Denver Marathon.

Your 4 person team will run the length of a full 26.2 marathon in segments of 6 miles, 4 miles, 9 miles and 7 miles. The relay course pinpoints transition areas for the relay participants in some of the 3 most beautiful parks in Denver: City Park, Cheeseman Park, and Washington Park.

We ran this race in 2006 and had a blast with it! I recommend running the last leg of the race if you enjoy ending your race at the finish line. There's beer, snacks, and a ton of people-watching opportunities. So, round up three gal pals from the office, and make sure to pick a unique name for your team. We - The "Arse Kickers" - will see you there!
