My team Blister Blasters competed in this years Colorado Relay, and ended up WINNING by over 1.5 hours.
This relay consist of 170 miles, 10 runners, 2 vans, 2 volunteers and no sleep.
The route goes from Idaho Springs to Gleenwood Springs.

Start times are based on how fast your team 10k times average are. If you are not very fast at all your start time is 5am, but if most of your team is able to run a faster time you are able to start later in the day. My team consisted of faster runners, so we were able to start at the last wave at 10am.

As it turns out we could have started the relay even later, because we ended up finishing at 5:40am the next day.
Here is Ben doing the last minute details for the relay. Every team needs a sign on the back of van that says "Caution - Runners on Road"
