The marathon office has established the four exchange points and five corresponding legs for the 5-person Cellcom Green Bay Marathon Relay presented by The Business News that will take place on May 16, 2010. The relay will include legs of 3.5, 5.9, 6.9, 4.8 and 5.1 miles. As the event has grown, the luxury of locating exchanges at specific mile markers such as 5.0 has gone away due to the need for ample parking and adequate restroom facilities. Teams are encouraged though not required to use the designated exchange points. Information in their packets on race weekend will provide recommended driving directions to get to each location. Based on feedback from last year’s participants, relay teams will continue to provide their own vehicles to move between exchanges and there will be no shuttle buses. Marathon officials expect as many as 150 relay teams, or 750 people, to take part in that event this year.

The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon will shift to a two-day format beginning with the May 2010, with events going through Lambeau on both Saturday and Sunday race day weekend.
Moving to a two-day format will create less congestion on Sunday morning, which has been a concern for runners and organizers as the event has grown. Since its inception in 2000, the marathon has offered a marathon, marathon relay, half marathon and 5K on the third Sunday in May each year. The Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) Kids’ Power Run has traditionally taken place on Saturday but was based at the WPS Corporate Headquarters grounds in downtown Green Bay. The short distance events will now move to Saturday and the marathon, half marathon and marathon relay will continue on Sunday.
