Sugar Rush Relay

Sugar Rush Relay takes place in Sugar Land, Texas, on November 14, 2026, with a 4:00 AM start. The event covers 75 miles (about 120.7 km) and can be tackled in one of two ways: as a relay, with a team splitting the distance, or as a solo 75-mile effort for runners who want the full ultra experience. The pre-dawn start reflects how long a day 75 miles makes, even when shared among teammates.

For a relay team, the challenge is logistics as much as fitness: agree on who runs which segments, how you will move between exchanges, and what each runner eats and drinks between legs. Individual legs are usually manageable for anyone with regular 10K to half-marathon fitness, though running several legs with rest periods between them is its own skill worth rehearsing. Solo runners should come off a proper ultra build, with back-to-back long runs and practice with night running and fueling. Bring a headlamp and layers for the early hours.
