You don’t need to be a runner or even a walker to participate.   The common thread is to have team members’ continuously walking, running or rolling around the track for 24 hours to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those we have lost to the disease and to empower everyone to fight back against cancer.

Relay is a healing experience for those fighting cancer.  It offers them a chance to meet others who have claimed victory over cancer.  This is a great, free family event for the community, but it wouldn’t be possible without the many generous sponsors and volunteers.

Join in the party atmosphere!  Teams pitch tents, camp-out, eat, feast, share in games and entertainment.
