THE ULTIMATE TAIL WAGGING RELAY!
Get your flock together! The Gate City Striders are hosting a one-of-a-kind, trail relay where our official "baton" is a spiffy dressed rubber duck. Grab your friends, form a team, and race through the woods to help us raise money for animals in need.
While there is no charge for the race itself, participants can still contribute to the race! The money goes directly to the Nashua Chapter of the Humane Society. You can also enter fun raffles, donate needed items to the Humane Society, and buy additional duck batons.
5 Mile Relay : Two person teams (1st runner = 2 miles, 2nd runner = 3 miles)
5K Relay: Two or three person teams (section 1 = 1 mile; section 2 = 1.1 mile & water stop; section 3 = 1 mile)
