At the workshop they can assist you and give you directions in forming a team or joining a team. It only takes five or more people to form your own team. Be clever and you create your own team name.
Because Relay is a team event, individuals aren’t required to be there the entire time, but it’s so much fun you will get caught up in the party atmosphere and want to stay. The day is packed with entertainment- music, Kids zone, onsite fundraisers, fight back messages, etc.

You don’t need to be a runner. The common thread is to have team members’ continuously walking or running around the track for 24 hours to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those we have lost to the disease and to empower everyone to fight back against cancer.
Teams walk on the track and they are committed to creating awareness. They raise money in the fight against cancer. Join in the party atmosphere! Pitch a tent, camp-out, eat, feast, play games and entertainment.
Relay is a healing experience for those fighting cancer. It offers them a chance to meet others who have claimed victory over cancer. This is a great, free family event for the community, but it wouldn’t be possible without the teams.
