Better than I could...Very well explained - thanks! Better than I could have done. Our captain had things all worked out with the help of other team members who were also experienced with the event. Definitely a lot of strategy involved! We stayed with our captain's family the first night and in a centrally-located hotel the 2nd and 3rd nights. We ate lots of bananas, granola bars, and PB-filled pretzels! The first leg starts at 6am each morning and runs until finished. You bounce back and forth among your different vehicles with different team members throughout the day and see lots of familiar faces of other teams throughout the weekend. Its an amazing event! Not sure I'm ready for one of those run though the night, sleep in the van events yet! haha.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828742485697188500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714409430100701276.post-89634767756136515412014-04-26T23:08:30.387-04:002014-04-26T23:08:30.387-04:00The legs are provided to the team captains several...The legs are provided to the team captains several weeks prior to the event and he/she (or a committee of team members) decide who will run each leg based on the talent of each runner and the published difficulty of the leg. There is a lot of strategy in this since the team must get its vehicles and runners to the exchange points as quickly and as efficiently as possible while running the course as quickly as possible and making sure its team can eat, find gas stations in the Michigan "outback", and give each runner the maximum time to "rest" between runs. Vehicles are prohibited from many of the trails which require vehicle detours to get to the next exchange point. At the end of each day the teams camp (the GLR organizing committee makes arrangements at high-schools for camping and showers), or many teams reserve motel rooms while some use their family's summer cabin. Some teams eat granola bars all weekend while others find restaurants. Some teams keep expenses relatively low by camping and bringing their own food while others check into hotels rent RV's and eat at restaurants. Everyone must run at least 24 miles over three days. The slower teams are allowed to "run concurrently" meaning that the teams splits up while (for example) four runners are finishing up legs 11-14, the other six drive ahead to leg 15 and run to the finish at leg 20. The split teams MUST record their start and finish times which will be added for their overall time on course. Teams averaging 10 and 12 minute miles (sandy trails and hills slow runners down significantly), are allowed to run concurrently so as not to finish too late into the evening. Many first time teams get the logistics mixed up but, then again, that is part of the fun.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714409430100701276.post-86676188244033222632014-04-24T11:11:23.199-04:002014-04-24T11:11:23.199-04:00Sounds like a great event!

I'm hooked on relay events! :) Where do you find the legs for each runner on the GLR website (I couldn't find it)? Do you sleep overnight or is it like Ragnar where you are either running or in the van?Angelanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714409430100701276.post-55115133072415982632013-07-24T16:51:36.647-04:002013-07-24T16:51:36.647-04:00I love the part about your teammates being complet...I love the part about your teammates being complete strangers before the race.
