Race Information
The Twin Cities Twilight Relays is a 13.1(ish) mile, 4-person relay race with an evening start time in Minneapolis, Minnesota, starting and finishing at Thomas Beach on Bde Maka Ska. Each team member runs an identical approximately 3.3-mile full loop of the lake, starting and finishing at a festival area.
During and after the event, participants congregate in a festival area with team tents, music, and food to cheer each other on and ready for (and then recover from) their own relay leg.
The Twilight Relays is a timed event with awards for the top team in multiple categories, but at its core, it's more fun than competitive and is intended to be a summer running celebration of the vibrant and diverse Twin Cities running community and all that makes it great!
