Each year, Governor Kevin Stitt challenges Oklahomans to beat his Relay team during the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. Any Relay Team that signs up and participates will be automatically entered to compete against the Governor’s relay team. If your team’s overall time beats Governor Stitt’s relay team, you will receive an “I Beat the Gov” shirt that will be mailed to runners after Race Day.

Runners in the Relay will have 6.5 hours of course support starting from when the last corral is released from the Start Line. If Relay runners are not to the course split at Mile 7.5 by 8:45am or to mile 20 by noon, they will be disqualified and shuttled to Scissortail Park to enjoy the Finish Line Festival.
