The Texas Independence Relay is composed of 40 relay legs of various lengths, totaling over 200 miles. The course starts in Gonzales, TX, where the Texas Revolution began, and it finishes at the San Jacinto Monument, where Texas Independence was won!

The relay will run from March 7th - 8th.

8 original Waiting for Runs Relay members will be returning (we will miss abelisle, the Foos, & Mystery runner)

This time, we will up the challenge and have 9 runners in a luxurious 15 passenger van. This means no resting time for the 2nd van.

Do it for the team...

What an amazing experience.  After a little time away to really think about it, WOW!  Like everyone has said, things went so smoothly, everyone supported each other so well, and the teamwork was super.  We really did it!!!  It was so much fun and everyone just pulled together to make it all work.  In conversations with different team members, I heard people say that they actually pushed harder and ran faster because they were running for the team and not just for themselves.  No way would we let down our teammates.  After Foo had that great first leg, it energized everyone, in spite of winds, cold, and crazy hills.    

Thanks, everyone, it was so wonderful to spend the weekend with you and meet you in person!  

Thanks to GGPRunner for amazing support, beyond the call of duty - can't wait to see you again in Oct for the Nike Women's!     

Thanks, tex, for being a great team captain.  Mawz76, you are amazing!  Your organization and preparation made this all work.  1 Mile, the shirts were totally cool!  This shirt joins the original Quad shirt at the top of my list!  Thanks to everyone who pitched in with whatever was needed, down to safety pins and peanut butter!
