THE WORLD'S LONGEST
RELAY RUN
What is Relay Iowa?
Relay Iowa: Where teams become a symphony of sweat, determination, and triumph, running the distance together to create an unforgettable rhythm of unity and victory."
Countdown to Relay Iowa 2025
"Relay Iowa: Where the baton passes through the hands of determination, friendship, and an unwavering spirit. It's a journey that transforms strangers into teammates, miles into memories, and ordinary moments into extraordinary stories that will be told for years to come."
"The best is the night running, all alone, in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere. It's so peaceful and unlike anything I've ever experienced."
"Running with friends is like a turbo boost for both your sneakers and your spirits, turning every stride into a joyful adventure that's fueled by laughter, support, and a shared love for the pavement."
"A good team makes all the difference. Not weather, not athleticism, but simply the people you are with."

"I've never seen such a diverse group of people all working for the same cause, and all cheering for each other to get there. It was very unique and hard to describe, and I had a blast. I'll definitely be back next year!"

"The friends that I made during Relay Iowa are now bonded to me in a way that is hard to describe. We did this together, and only those that participate in this weekend can understand how meaningful that is."
"I can't believe that I just ran the LONGEST RELAY IN THE WORLD!" It sounds pretty cool to say that."
