Alaska Relay

200 MILES – 12 FRIENDS A running adventure in the Last Frontier! AK Relay is an overnight relay like no other. Set at the peak of summer, "night" is a loose term as the 6 hour twilight takes you through the wee hours. From the extensive Anchorage bike path network, down the dynamic Turnagain Arm, to the reviving finish on the shore of Resurrection Bay, Alaska Relay is a run-venture you'll always remember! How This Massive Relay WorksAlaska Relay is split into 36 legs and is most commonly completed by a team of 12. This allows each runner to run 3 times. The TRADITIONAL (but by no means mandatory) method is for the team to run in a sequential rotation, where runner 1 does legs 1, 13, and 25, runner 2 does 2, 14, and 26, and so on. Teams split into two vans of 6 runners each. The first van starts the race sending out runner 1, cheers them on along the leg, and meets them at Exchange 1 to send out runner 2. This repeats through runner 6, who hands off to the runner 7 in the other van. Whi
