Brew to Boo Relay

Brew to Boo Relay takes place in Kansas City, Missouri, on October 24, 2026. The course measures 16.3 miles and the relay sets off at 11:00 a.m., a late start by racing standards that gives you a full morning to travel, sort out your team and warm up.

Splitting 16.3 miles between teammates means each leg is short enough to run quickly, so the pacing question is different from a solo long race: you are running a hard tempo, resting, and possibly running again, rather than settling into one steady rhythm. Prepare as you would for a 10K, with a weekly long run of eight to ten miles and one session at threshold effort. On the day, keep moving between legs and eat a little at the start rather than waiting until you feel hungry, since the midday gun puts your effort right around lunchtime.
