About this race

CHOOSE YOUR ROUTE. EARN YOUR FINISH.

This isn't your typical relay race.

The New Momentum relay race is built for those who want more than just crossing a finish line. It's for athletes, moms, dads, friends, families, and competitors who believe that growth happens when we challenge ourselves, encourage one another, and keep moving forward. 

Grab a partner and take on our 6 mile relay, where teamwork, strategy, and grit come together. Unlike traditional races, this is an unrouted relay. You and your teammate choose your own path between designated checkpoints, creating a race experience that's as strategic as it is fun. Every decision matters. Every step counts.

Whether you're chasing first place or simply showing up to prove something to yourself, this event is designed to build confidence, resilience, and community.
