19th Annual Washington's Birthday Marathon Relay
Greenbelt, MD
Sunday, February 18, 2007
Conducted by DC Road Runners Club

"The Sexy Beasts" (a group of high school runners from Springfield, VA) returned for a third time, but because their second runner accidentally cut his lap short by 3.5 miles, they withdrew from the competition. This left the "Hot Boyz" as the overall winning team. An outstanding performance from "Merkel Squad" included a first leg by the overall marathon winner, Luke Merkel, and an anchor leg by his father, Jerry. The most appropriately named team was "The Newlyweds Plus One," which was a pickup team formed by a recently-married couple, Peter and Sarah Cooper, and Patricia Zerfas, the female full marathon winner, who they met at registration. This is the first year that both the male and female marathon winners also ran on relay teams.

Other returning relay teams included: Dolomite Express, Chestertown Experience with Mary&Kurt, and MCRRC The Fifties.
Race Director: Bob Platt, Volunteers: Chuck Evans, Bob Nelson, Al Naylor, and John H. Steitz.

Three person teams competed in the following Categories: Coed (C), Open Men (OM), Master Men (MM), Open Women (OW) and Master Women (MW). The top three teams in each category received medals.
