MARQUETTE -- The spring tradition of the Big Bay Relay is almost upon us.  This is the 36th year of the race and organizers are expecting a good turnout this year. 

The race involves five person teams and they race from the River Sports Complex in Marquette all the way to Perkins Park in Big Bay.

"What's really great about the Big Bay Relay is it's a sense of team and you know it gets you out there early, May 19 is one of the earlier running races here in Marquette, you know its a tradition," said Nicole Dewald from the Noquemanon Trail Network.

There are guidelines for the racers, reflective straps must be worn and runners must run on the left shoulder of the road facing traffic. The run is sponsored by Superior Timing, Johnson's Superior Shoes and Jimmy Johns in Marquette, to sign up for the race click here.
