Start Times + Vehicle Logistics

  • Teams will be sent a spreadsheet to fill out in late spring to report anticipated course paces, from which we will assign start times. Slower paced teams will start as early as 5 am on Friday, Sept. 5th and faster paced teams will start as late as 9 am on Friday, Sept. 5. The goal is to keep all teams relatively close together on the course and arriving/leaving from each exchange during the Open Times for both volunteer, safety and permitting purposes. 

  • Carpooling to the start is also recommended. 

  • Use the run.Colorado Relays Facebook group if additional carpooling is needed to and from the race start or finish in Steamboat, or if you're looking to join a team or need another team member
