4 (wo)man/3 Bike relay
Race description:
Teams of four runners will compete to cover the approximately 21 mile distance from Olympia to Yelm (all on paved Chehalis-Western and Yelm-Tenino trails) as fast as possible, having one member from their team running at all times. The team members not running may ride ahead or alongside their runner on bikes, and each team will determine the distance and number of legs for each participant. Initially, this race was designed just for high school x-c teams, but now the race is open to anyone who would like to compete (prizes will go to the top high school teams, however).
Time/Date: Monday, July 1st starting from the Chambers Lake Trailhead (directions below) at 9:00 AM and finishing in downtown Yelm.
Location: Starting in Olympia, Washington and finishing in Yelm, Washington (course map below). If someone can drive an extra bike out to Yelm then everyone can bike back, you can run/ride back to the start, one bike can be a tandem bike and then everyone can bike back, you can have a vehicle pick you up at the finish, or there is also a bus line that runs from Yelm back to Olympia. If you would like to bring money for a movie and/or lunch out in Yelm afterward that would be a great idea.
What to bring: Bring three bikes, four runners, and some food/water in a backpack.
Cost: Free
