Who doesn’t love cramming into a vehicle in the wee early morning hours with running gear, snacks, a slap wrist bracelet to hand off and your favorite people — all while knowing the van is only going to get more rancid as the day goes on? Adventure awaits as your team piles into the vehicle like clowns at the circus, chasing miles, laughs, and the unforgettable chaos that only a relay can deliver. Teams of 2, 3, 4, or 6 runners will compete for the coveted Rainier to Ruston spikes, awarded across multiple categories. And honestly? Everyone’s a winner here. Why? Because the finish line delivers exactly what you’ve earned: a craft beer garden, finish-line food, and a front-row view of one of the most iconic backdrops in the Pacific Northwest. Look up and take in the stunner of Mount Rainier. Grab your victory photo at the famous bell stand with that mountain framed perfectly behind you. Then feel free to sprawl out, put your feet up, and rehash the stories of the epic relay that started near the base of Mount Rainier and finished on the cool, grassy waterfront in Ruston.
