Tobacco Road Relay - Raleigh, NC

Tobacco Road Relay - Raleigh, NC is a relay held in Raleigh, North Carolina, on April 24, 2027. The single format covers about 120.7 km, roughly 75 miles, split between the members of a team, and it starts early at 5:00 AM. No elevation gain is published for the route.

Relays of this length are as much a logistics exercise as a running one: legs are handed off through the day, you run more than once, and the hard part is often recovering enough between efforts to run the second and third legs well. Come with a plan for food, dry clothes and somewhere to sit between legs. Training-wise, doubling up on some days during the build, running twice in a single day, prepares you for the specific fatigue of racing again on legs that are already tired.
