Come out and challenge yourself on the singletracks at Walden and enjoy the social vibe of a relay event.

What is a Random Relay?

This event is the Relay Race without the anxiety of finding 3 team members. We make the teams for you.

• It is a regular relay race, except you don’t put together a relay team.

• 4-person relay teams will be created at random, but based on ability, at 9:15 am from the group of seeded riders that register.

• We also have a kids event, starting halfway thru the event. See details below.

• It is a low-key, recreational event, designed with a big social component and lots of opportunities to meet other riders.
