Join me for Great Lakes Relay 7/20-7/22 in Northern Michigan. 3-day, 10 person relay race ~270 miles
Hi Team,
I've posted this before in the general thread, but I wanted to invite people again. If you want an awesome and fun run-focused weekend, please join me for Great Lakes Relay. Based on observing race numbers, there seem to typically be 60-90 teams of 6-10 people.
My team (800 mg) has raced in this since 2000, only missing 1 year. I"ve done the event ~12 times. It is a blast! We've always done it with 8-10 people. But if any of you animals wants a ton of miles, we could do it with less people & give you as many miles as you want.
You typically run 1 long run or 2-3 shorter runs per day for 3 days. The teams race from ~6 am - when the end the day. We do NOT race through the night. I always come out of the weekend a stronger, faster runner.
We get to run on lots of beautiful trails & back-country roads.
The event raises money for Michigan Special Olympics. The current event organizers have put on this race for over 20 years.
Is anyone interested in joining us? We are NOT racing to win. The winning teams average under 6 min pace across all 3 days with sand, hills, lots of windy single-track, etc. But there are plenty of slower teams out there having fun & getting some great running.
Time handicaps are provided based on age & gender.
Here is an event page, but they update their FB page a lot more often:
