The 1Day Relay is a coed 50(ish) mile point-to-point charity relay run. Self-supported teams of 4-6 runners, or 2-person ultra, rotate through 12 legs over the length of the course. A team vehicle carries the runners to each exchange point to swap out a sweaty, tired runner for a fresh, new runner. No matter what your ability there's a place for you in the 1Day Relay!
"Loved the scenic legs, being with my teammates, and the overall spirit of fun throughout the entire day!" -from a 50(ish) miler

Team members decide which legs they want to run:
Teams of 4 run 3 legs each
Teams of 6 run 2 legs each
Teams of 5 run 2 legs each and select two people (suckers) to run an additional leg each
Teams of 2 (Ultra division) run 6 legs each
On event morning the entire team assembles at the start area to sign their waivers, pick up t-shirts and bags, and listen to our mandatory safety briefing. At the start signal the chosen runner takes off to the cheers of the rest of the team. As the runner heads out of sight, the team piles into their vehicle and drives (at a safe speed and obeying all local, state and federal traffic laws) to the next exchange point. The team piles out of the vehicle and gets set up by the exchange area. The next runner finishes hydrating, limbers up and gets psyched. The runners exchange the slap strap in the designated exchange area.
Lather, rinse, and repeat.
At the finish line the entire team meets the final runner 150-200 feet from the finish line and everyone gets to cross the finish line together. You get your medals, pose for photos, sign autographs and head over to the party area for a beer.
Wasn't that fun? |

The 1Day Relay is a coed team event. We have 4 team categories, which we tried to make as simple as possible:
Men – If everyone on your team is a man enter this category.
Women – If everyone on your team is a woman enter this category.
Mixed – If your team is not all men and is not all women enter this category.
Ultra - If your team only consists of 2 runners, enter this category
Easy, right?
All participants of the 1Day Relay must be at least 18 years old on race day. Each team must designate a team captain at time of registration. The team captain will be responsible for communication with the team members.
