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.

Gnews from the road

It's been the most amazing day of my life.

Iwas awakened early, and powered up with some Red Bull before hitting the road with the Van 1 half of the team. We drove through lush, beautiful wine country to the race start, where for some reason everyone wanted to take my picture. I posed with the team at the start and at various interesting waypoints, and hope to share some of those shots with you soon.

The van smells funny, but everyone has been very nice to me. I'm hoping I'll have a chance to run, but even if I don't, I know that I'm experiencing things that few gnomes have experienced. Even if I do wind up living out the rest of my years in a garden somewhere, I'll always be grateful for the memories of this weekend.
