Herd Relay for Life Endurance Run 8 Hour

Herd Relay For Life Endurance Run

This is a timed endurance event held on a paved loop outside the Milner Recreation Complex in McMinnville, TN. The course circles Dottie West Park and passes baseball fields, an outdoor fitness area, a skate park, and a pool. Each loop is 0.78 mile with 43 feet of elevation gain. Outdoor restrooms are located along the route and are passed on every lap.

Three timed events are offered:

• 8 hour endurance run
• 6 hour endurance run
• 3 hour endurance run

An aid station supplies a variety of foods and drinks including cookies, chips, peanut butter and jelly, candy, fruit, and Gatorade. Pizza will be provided for participants in the 6 hour and 8 hour events. Because the course is largely unshaded in August, coolers with ice and ice cold water will be available and towels will be provided to runners in the 6 hour and 8 hour events.

There is space for a 10x10 canopy or for crewing from a vehicle; participants pass their vehicle on every loop. Relay for Life activities take place throughout the day and all proceeds are donated to Relay For Life. A cancer survivor will place medals on finishers. A $25 donation option is available for those unable to attend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
