Are you looking for a team? Contact us via the 'Contact Us' page. We have teams looking for 1 or 2 more runners.
338 miles * 3 days/2 nights * May 14th-16th, 2010
Clear your calendar for May 14th-16th, 2010, and join us for the first annual RELAY
IOWA! Teams of 12 or elite teams of 6 will be running their way from Sioux City to Dubuque on a 338
mile trek through Iowa.
This is a unique adventure relay on the open roads of Iowa to raise money to build an orphanage in Welkom, South Africa through Restoring Hope International. Restoring Hope International is an organization started by an Iowa couple, Brian and Lois Niehoff. They live in South Africa helping orphans, many with HIV, live productive lives under adverse conditions.
This promises to be an adventure relay like no other. Each member of a 12 person team would run about 26 miles over 3 days, both day and night. A 6 member elite team would run about 56 miles in 2 days per person. It will be hard and adventurous but in the end very rewarding -- helping save lives of orphans as well as bringing attention to your own cause and the State of Iowa.
This is a great platform for any organization to raise awareness for their cause. Use this run as your fundraiser as well! We would love to have a unique set of individual causes represented. Prepare to lose some sleep and cross Iowa with us!
Space is limited so start forming your team today!
Some ideas of where to find
teammates:
• Friends
• Family
• Running Groups
• Schoolmates
• Fraternity/Sororities
• Coworkers
• Church members
• Etc.
EVERYONE is encouraged to get involved! Teams will need to average at least a 10 minute mile (or
less) - so start training. If that's not for you - we'd LOVE to have you as a volunteer.
