IS THIS A MULTI-DAY EVENT?

No. The relay will be completed in a single day, giving teams the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Summit County!

WILL THERE BE AGE-GROUP CATEGORIES FOR THE RELAY? No, we will not have age categories like a traditional race or event. Instead, awards will be given to the first 3 finishing teams and one to the team with the best costume.

WHEN DO I NEED TO HAVE MY FULL TEAM NAILED DOWN?

We will need to know the complete team  by the time registration closes which is approximately 2 days prior to the event.

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE FOR TEAM MEMBERS?

The minimum age is 12 years old.

IS THERE A MINIMUM NUMBER OF LEGS EACH RUNNER MUST COMPLETE?

Each runner will have to complete at least 3 legs.

IF FOR SOME REASON A RUNNER CAN’T DO ONE OF THEIR LEGS CAN ANOTHER TEAM MEMBER RUN IT FOR THEM?

If a participant cannot complete one of their legs another team member may finish any of the unfinished legs. For awards, the team will be adjusted based on the number of team members who completed at least 3 legs.

DOES THE ORDER THAT WE RUN THE LEGS MATTER?

Order doesn’t matter as long as each participant runs their minimum number of legs (3.)

WHAT IS THE START TIME AND WILL THERE BE A STAGGERED START?

The start time is 7:30 AM.  It will be a mass start this year.

ARE THERE BATHROOMS AT EACH EXCHANGE STOP?

No, bathrooms will only be at the major exchanges (1, 4, 8, 11)  

WHAT TYPE OF RACE SUPPORT CAN WE EXPECT?

There will be Self serve water coolers with Gatorade Endurance and water at each major exchange. Some snacks will be given to you at packet pickup in your packets.

WILL THERE BE CUT OFF TIMES?

Cut off for finishing the event is 5:30pm

WHAT KIND OF VEHICLE WE CAN BRING AND CAN WE USE MORE THAN ONE?

We encourage teams to work from one vehicle, since one vehicle really is sufficient and it helps to keep the teams together.. Due to the size of some of the parking areas, motorhomes are permitted to camp with a reservation, but not permitted on the race course.

WHAT WILL THERE BE AFTER THE RACE FOR THE ATHLETES?

Every athlete will get several things including a t-shirt, finisher medal, finish line treats, music, etc… Not to mention the pure glory of being a Woman of Steel!

The 2022 Race Bible is a comprehensive listing of all route legs and maps to get you to the finish-line!  We recommend you print the bible out and have it readily available in your team car!   See below for route maps.  GPS coordinates of the exchanges are coming soon.
