Event Description
The Hilloopy 100+ Relay, gives you the thrill of the long distance relay while you create memories with your entire team. It IS the SUMMER RUNNING TAILGATE PARTY of the Midwest!
If you ever have experienced a 100 mile point to point relay, you know that they can be fun, but at times, a logistical hassle. You create a team and look forward to spending time with them, but you really don’t.
Separate vans. Rarely talking. Completely different schedules. What is the fun in that?
Taking place on the Wayne E. Dannehl National Cross Country Course on the campus of UW-Parkside in Kenosha, WI, this ultra-relay event has each team running 33 laps of the nationally known 5K cross country course. Imagine the fun of running this beautiful nature trail which keeps looping you back to the cheers and support of your teammates and other spectators. With a relay event like this, strategy is the key! Any size team is WELCOME from 2 to 33! Not everyone has to run the same number of loops, but everyone does have to have a great time!
All teams will begin at the same time in a thrilling mass start and with each loop you have the option to hand off to a teammate or run another based on your team’s strategy. We track the number of loops for each team, provide loop splits for all 33 loops, and will have continuous live updates on a large screen near the exchange zone.
If it is not an athlete’s turn to run, they’ll be hanging out in our exclusive Thrillogy Village. Imagine an exchange zone and start/finish area lined with all the relay teams for hundreds of meters, music keeping the party on the right note, and great food served by the UW Parkside XC and Track teams. You and your teammates will be cheering, chilling, participating in games and other competitive non-running contests all while you are building and strengthening bonds.
