Marquette – The 41st Annual Big Bay Relay Race will be held on Saturday May 20 starting at 8 a.m. at the Kaufman Sports Complex in Marquette and finishing at the Thunder Bay Inn in Big Bay.
Teams are composed of five runners for adults and up to seven for youth teams. Teams cover 26-ish miles. Runners run approximately 1 mile each before handing the baton to a teammate and resting until it is their turn again. While one person is running, the rest of your teammates are on support duty in your race vehicle. As each runner begins, the crew in the vehicle drives ahead and meets them at the exchange point to pick them up and drop off the next runner.
Registration fees are $150 per team until the day before the race. A registration fee of $170 will be charged at Friday night registration. Registration divisions include five person all-female, all-male, or mixed teams and seven person junior division teams. This year all proceeds benefit the Noquemanon Skijor Club. If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions please contact Brent Skaw at 715- 651-1202, or by e-mail at beskaw@gmail.com.
