About this race

Team Racing – From the mountains to the beach!
WCRC is once again looking for runners to join one or more teams to participate in the
oldest relay on the East coast. Reach the Beach is a relay that runs from Lancaster, NH
Friday morning (September 18 th ) to Hampton Beach sometime Saturday. Runners will
rotate running a leg (3 to 10 miles each) until the team completes all 36 legs – about
200 miles. Each runner will run between 15 and 20 miles in total, but your teammates
and future closest friends will support you through it all!
Here’s the link to learn more….

What does it cost? The entry fee alone is about $175 per person, and we are asking
anyone that signs up to pay $100, the club will cover the balance of the entry fee. Keep
in mind that your team, once formed, will need to come up with transportation, gas, food
and anything else you might need for the adventure. Experience suggests budgeting an
additional $120 per runner to cover these items.
When you first register and pay with the link below, your entry fee remains fully
refundable. We will keep the registration open until July 15 th at which time we will work
with team captains to form team(s) based on the number of registered runners. If it
doesn’t work out, nothing lost, you’ll get your money back. But once the team entry fee
is paid, you’re locked in, unless an alternate is waiting in the wings.
Still unsure? As someone that has run this more than 10 times, I’m happy to help
convince you! You can also talk to anyone that ran last year.
