The Relay Course
Most of the 57 mile course is on the hard-packed dirt Snoqualmie Valley Trail.
It is a gentle grade, excellent for running, with spectacular views. There are
ten individual legs, with each team member running two each. Exchanges between
each leg are well marked and manned by volunteers. Method of exchange is a
simple touch off by hand. Not all crossings and turns are manned by volunteers,
but will be well marked. Please know your directions beforehand.
