From the Organizer
With the LMCU Bridge Run coming up in September, we wanted to provide the community with an opportunity to train for the 10 Miler, with friends! The Brian Diemer Family of Races introduces the BRelay, the Bridge Run Relay. This 10-mile relay is designed to have teams of 6-10, 3-5, and 2 persons, with a solo option. With team categories of male, female, and Coed. It all takes place on a 1 mile paved loop at Pinery Park.
Teams are encouraged to have FUN; wear costumes, have a team theme, use creative team names, etc. Teams will be issued a baton with a timing chip when they check into the race. In the spirit of keeping it easy, we only require each team member to run at least one loop; a Coed team is simply having mixed genders.
To keep registration fees low for everyone, there will be no shirt. Stay tuned for information on team awards.
Check-in and late registration starts a 5:00 pm, pre-race meeting at 5:50pm, and BRelay starts at 6pm, with the awards right after the last team finishes.
Grab the baton, a few friends (or run solo), and build up to the Bridge Run with us!
