Texas Independence Relay Info

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.

Keep an eye out here for updated info and up to the minute updates.

i was looking at a relay that is not on here, the texas independence relay - it is in early march and aside from the 40 legs (teams of 8 or 12) there is a prologue and epilogue that the team runs together, isn't that interesting? i am going to run it next year and i am going to try and get a team together, either my n+ pals like you guys, or the texas n+ runners. i'm guessing it might be too close to our relay for next year for others to make the trip and/or nobody wants to come run in texas :)
