Your team of 12 maniacs will run around the clock in this springtime relay through the Arizona Desert. Teams will rock out to live bands, enjoy the wacky participant costumes, and make life-long friends with teammates and competitors. While this 187-miler only runs from Wickenburg to Scottsdale, the inside jokes may last forever. During the relay, each team member runs three legs, each leg ranging between 3 to 8 miles and varying in difficulty. So from the elite runner down to the novice jogger, it's the perfect for anyone looking for an unforgettable relay adventure. Contact Info: Corissa Taylor at 877-83-Relay
