About this race

The Wild West Relay covers 200 scenic miles, with 36 legs, beginning in the foothills of beautiful Fort Collins before sending runners deep into the heart of the Rocky Mountains, over two mountain passes and finishing in Steamboat Springs, CO. 
 
This life changing relay road race is a team-oriented adventure with experiences and views you'll never forget. Each team consists of either twelve runners and two vehicles (the vast majority of the teams) or six runners and one vehicle (Ultra teams), or any other amount of runners including a solo unsanctioned race.


When

Friday July 31st through Saturday August 1st, 2026. 

How to Register

Team Captains should be the first to sign up:

  • submit team payment 
  • set up a team name and password and share with team members. Note: You can sign up a full team before you have secured commitments from all team members
  • select team volunteer option during their registration process. 

Once the Team Captain registers, they will share the team name and password with their teammates, so all teammates can register/join their team with no additional registration cost. 

Choose your Volunteer Option

Fun Fact: This overnight relay race is made possible by over 130 volunteers on the course. Most volunteers are either friends/family of the race directors, team members running the event OR a local nonprofit raising awareness and funds for their cause or organization. Each team is given two options to help us make this event possible while giving back: 

Option 1: Supply Volunteers: 12 person teams will supply two (2) volunteers; Ultra teams and High School teams will supply one (1) volunteer to staff the runner exchanges. 

Option 2: Teams can choose to make a tax-deductible donation to Windsor Gives, 501(c)3 non-profit to support with providing volunteers for the relay. With Option 2, Windsor Gives will email the Team Captain an invoice in early 2025. You can find Volunteer Pricing HERE

**The Team Captain is the only one who chooses the teams volunteer option during the registration process and who pays the registration fees. Additional team members should have no fees at the end of their registration/joining the appropriate team.
