Hundred K Relay

The relay race is open to teams of three: an all-male team, an all-female team, and a coed team.  Every team will be issued one chip. The chip must cross the finish line 6 times, and the handoff must occur at the finish/start line-not mid-trail. Teams will determine the order of runners and laps. The race headquarters is perfect for teams and crews to relax and hang out while their teammates run. When registering, the team captain will register and pay for the entire team. A female must run at least two of the six loops as a coed team. 

Course

This is a single-tract trail, with approximately 1300 feet of climbing per loop for a total of 7,800 feet for the 100k.  There are no long hills, but there are plenty of small hills.  

The mid-course aid station will be available approximately halfway through the 10.3-mile loop, and there is one hydration-only station at mile 8.  

The other aid station is at the beginning /end of each loop, which is the low spot of the course.  It's also the crew and relay area.

We call this course the OG. The course record for men is held by Alex Minor at 8:38:31; for women, it is owned by HollyAnn Swan at 9:31:32.
