Valentine's Heartbreaker Marathon & Relay

 

 

   

There really is no better way to share the day with a few of your closest friends, families, co-workers, and running groups by taking a stroll around Greensboro's challenging loop in beautiful Country Park. You can't find an experience like this anywhere! 

Every participant receives a hoodie (must register at least 3 weeks in advance), finisher's medal, hospitality and the most fantastic race day experience. Get your team together and start planning the fun. The hoodie is always awesome. The day will be epic.

 

How the Heartbreaker works:

1. Decide whether you want to run 16 laps (26.2 miles) around Country Park all by yourself, or
2. Recruit from 1 to 7 of your besties to run with you
3. Pick a cool team name
4. Register and create your team (DON'T WORRY you only pay for registration! Everyone on the team pays their own way. Phew, right!)
5. Remind your teammates to register. Link to team page HERE.
6. Designate a team "captain" to pick up your hoodies, baton, bibs, and any other goodies that we have for packet pickup
7. Show up on race day and set up your tent and "relaxation zone" for while you aren't running
8. Designate the sequence of runners for your team - another good job for that "captain."  Your team MUST alternate and run individual laps in sequence to be eligible for awards. For example, for a 4-person team, the same person would run laps 1,5,9, and 13, another would run laps 2,6,10, and 14. and so forth. In other words, you may not run all of your laps at once - part of the challenge is the break in between.  Questions?  Email us!
9. Have fun!
