We invite you to be a part of the Silicon Labs Austin Marathon Relay held at Auditorium Shores on September 21, 2008. This five-leg race is made up of distances from 5k to 11.1k and is suitable for most fitness levels. The Relay has centralized exchange points for the teams to gather and cheer on their teammates, creating a fun, social atmosphere for everyone at the race. Come participate in the only marathon relay in Austin, a one of a kind event that is as unique as the city itself.
 Make plans to join us for a pre-race dinner on Saturday, September 20th from 6:30pm – 8:30pm. For only $10 you can enjoy a pasta and enchilada buffet, margarita and live entertainment. Tickets are limited to the first 500 people so sign up early! Click here to get your tickets.
(please note that you must set up an account with active.com to purchase tickets)
Friends: Register your team of five friends, family members, neighbors, colleagues, running buddies or race rivals to divide and conquer the 26.2 mile relay course that is broken into five legs of 10k, 11.1k, 11.1k, 5k, and 5k.
Family Fun: This is a family event! There are kids' activities, free food and drink and a beer garden for the adults. So, not only is the course fun and the format a blast, but you don't want to miss the party on Town Lake's Auditorium Shores (950 W. Riverside Dr).
Philanthropy: The Relay benefits Junior Achievement of Central Texas which teaches children financial literacy skills and the importance of staying in school. JA brings members of the business community into grade school classrooms across the Austin area to help educate our children and build leadership skills. Donate to one of the Team JA Runners, to help them raise money to further Junior Achievement's efforts in Austin.
Fitness: This relay is a great way to kick-off your fall running season and prepare for the Distance Challenge series. Run the relay with a friend and challenge yourself to a half-marathon, or split it up among your buddies to get more friends involved.
