The Palm Springs Half Marathon Relay is a fun early season race. Put on by Klein Clark Sports, the entire day maintains a local, grass-roots feeling - one of the reasons why it keeps attracting runners year after year.

In addition to the Half Marathon Relay, the event day revolves around two other races: the Palm Springs Half Marathon and the Palm Springs 5k.

The course (which is USA Track & Field certified) is flat and fast. It starts at Ruth Hardy Park and winds through the quiet streets of Palm Springs.
