UVA Club Running Philanthropic Relayathon

In this relay, one of your legs will be strapped to a partner's leg, giving you effectively three legs to run on to get to the finish line. Fun fact: the world record for the most competitor pairs in a three-legged race is 649 (I think we can beat that).

This relay will literally make your head spin. Each time you switch off with your partner, before running, you must press your forehead to the end of a baseball bat and spin in a circle ten times.

Maybe you've been hitting the gym lately and you think you're getting pretty strong. If you really want to put your strength to the test you should try out this relay! You will carry your partner on your back to the finish, then switch and your partner will carry you.

Everyone has the one food they swear by as part of their pre-race fuel. Some will always eat a banana while others pack a handful of Smarties to chew on. Then there's you: eating a whole slice of pizza. In this relay you will be putting your digestive muscles to the test by eating a slice of pizza, then running to your partner.

When it comes to running, staying hydrated is very important. This relay will make sure you are drinking, because every time you switch off your partner, you will chug a beverage of your choice before running. (Each relay should bring their chosen beverage with 12 oz per person or more if you want a challenge).

UVA students have been training for the racewalk for their whole academic career. Grounds is a big place, and sometimes you only have ten minutes to get from inside the Chemistry Building to Wilson Hall. If you think you pass enough people on the sidewalk just trying to get to class, then you and your speediest friend should try this racewalk competition.
