The Get Fit Relay Challenge

This 36-mile relay race is completed by your six-person team. Each team member runs or walks two different three-mile routes.

The distance is sure to appeal to elite athletes as well as the occasional jogger. It’s the perfect relay race for everyone.

Two team members (runners 1 and 2) hit the path for a three-mile journey. The rest of the team waits at their team tent in the Thrive Village, or at the checkpoint area by the starting line. The course will be marked with signs and balloons. Participants run the course and head back to the checkpoint to pass the baton to the next two teammates. When they are not running, other team members will be busy cheering from the Thrive Village!

All fitness levels are encouraged to participate. Running two legs during a three-to-four-hour relay race is much easier than you think. You will have plenty of time after the first leg to stretch, rest, eat, and drink before completing the second leg. Once the last two runners come in from the last let, all team members will perform a victory lap and finish together. Finisher medals and awards will be distributed at the conclusion of the event.

Relay Team Guide

Form your team

The first step to create a team is to elect a team captain. Put your team together as early as possible. It’s easier to recruit people when they have time to train and before their schedule gets too busy.

Team Campsite

Leave your vehicles in the parking lot and bring your pop-up tents. Each team is responsible for a team tent. Tents can be decorated to support the team name and theme. Bring chairs, food, and games. It’s like tailgating with exercise!

Team Costume

We suggest you pick a theme and design a unique costume. Be creative and have fun. Who knows? Your team may win a prize for best-dressed team.

Preparing for your relay

Train as you would for a 10K race. Training should start six to eight weeks before the event depending on your fitness level. (See the online training plan here) A good rule of thumb is to increase your mileage by 10% each week.  Do a few training runs with your teammates. Have fun!

Registration and fees

The relay registration is $270 per team until Nov. 15, then $300 until Nov. 17. The team captain will need to register
the team and pay on behalf of the team. You do not need to have your entire team put together to register. You
can add or substitute team members up to a week before the event.
