Races + Registration

Your team (female, male, or co-ed) will compete in a 24-hour relay event. The goal is to accumulate as many miles as possible while having a great time!

 Race structure:

  • Your team will compete in three 8-hour stages that also include a classic summer camp challenge: Archery, Scavenger Hunt, and Ropes Course. One of these challenges will be completed in each stage.
  • Each stage runs on a unique loop ranging from 2.1 to 2.7 miles. The loops feature both trail and road surfaces.
  • Each of your team’s 8 runners will run the loop, staying in order (runner 1, then 2, then 3, etc.) Once all runners have completed the loop, your team can start the cycle again until the clock runs out.
  • During each stage, you must choose a time to stop your rotation and complete a summer camp challenge. The faster you complete the challenge, the sooner you get back to adding miles to your tally.

Registration Includes:

  • Premium sweatshirt
  • Finisher medal
  • Open campsite accommodations (private cabins available for an additional cost)
  • Volunteers to assist along the course route
  • Pancake breakfast for 24-hour race participants
Accommodations:
  • Under the stars:  Chilly fall evenings and crisp fall mornings are the best! Camp out with us on Wyman’s property in designated areas.  You bring the tent, we’ll have the campfire & s’mores!
  • Indoor Camp Out: All the fun of a camp out, but a little bit less work! We’ll have several open floor plan spaces for your team to find a corner and set up camp, but no tent required with this indoor option.
  • Cabins: Camp Wyman has 16 cabins with bunk beds, private bathroom/showers and, of course, that perfect “summer camp” vibe.  Reserve one for your team when you register for the race for an additional $500/team. Cabins are first-come, first served so don’t wait on this option!
