I don't have a relay partner. Will Team World Vision match me up with one?
YES! Relay runners can submit themselves to be added to a roster of Charity Relay partners. Based on estimated finish times that the runner submits during registration, a TWV rep will assign runners together and connect them with one another.

If I have a partner in mind for the relay, how do we join the same relay team?

Are runners able to choose which leg they will run during the race? If so, what is this process?
You do not need to select the portion of the relay race that you'll run during race registration.

What is the policy for runners requesting to change their registration from Half marathon Charity Relay to Full Marathon or from Half Full Marathon to Charity Relay?
