​

Hundred K Relay

The relay race is open to teams of three: an all-male team, an all-female team, and a coed team.  Every team will be issued one chip. The chip must cross the finish line 6 times, and the handoff must occur at the finish/start line-not mid-trail. Teams will determine the order of runners and laps. The race headquarters is perfect for teams and crews to relax and hang out while their teammates run. When registering, the team captain will register and pay for the entire team. A female must run at least two of the six loops as a coed team.
