Oceans 50 Relay Race

OCEANS 50 RELAY RACE  November 6th, 2021 Event description:

Event Description: A 50 mile running relay winding through scenic trails, along the ocean on A1A, over bridges….all with 5 of your best running buddies.  Finish it off with a beachside celebration with food and drinks. 

How does a relay race work? Create your team of 3-6 runners, assign each runner to what legs they will be running (each person runs twice), pile in a van/truck/wherever you can fit and start running. One person from each team runs at a time, the rest of you hang out in the van cheering them on, giving them water and getting to know each other real well. Then comes the hand off to the next runner. Repeat cheering, support, good times. Keep up this relay style running for 50 miles until your adventure concludes at the finish line party. Collect your hard earned hardware, have a drink, eat some food. 

Start times  will be assigned to teams based on average team pace. Teams must have all runners added to their team page online before their start time can be assigned.
