RELAY EXPERIENCE

Take on the challenge solo or team up with your crew for a relay race that turns into a full‑blown adventure.

It’s the perfect blend of teamwork, strategy, and unforgettable race‑day vibes with good friends.

When you’re not on the course, you’re right in the heart of the action at your camp. Set up your home base on the course, cheer on your teammates, grab food, relax, and cheer on runners.

• Built‑in hype squad > your friends are right there to lift you up.
• Festival atmosphere > music, camping, community, and epic vibes under the full moon and stars.
