Our mission
Built by runners, for runners
One place for every relay race
Relay Guide is a free online directory of relay races across the United States and around the world. We curate road relays, trail relays, and ultra relays — events where teams of runners take turns covering legs of a longer course, passing a baton or timing chip from runner to runner until the finish line.
Finding a great relay race used to mean digging through scattered race websites, Facebook groups, and word-of-mouth tips. Relay Guide brings it all together in one searchable, filterable directory — so you can compare races by distance, terrain, team size, difficulty, region, and month, then click straight through to register.
We cover iconic events like Hood to Coast, overnight relay classics, regional favorites like Relay Iowa and the Blue Ridge Relay, international races across Europe, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, and hidden gems that deserve more attention. Every listing is hand-researched and kept up to date.
Who it's for
For every kind of relay team
Whether you're a first-time relay runner looking for a beginner-friendly road relay, a seasoned ultra team hunting your next 200-mile challenge, or a race director wanting your event listed — Relay Guide is built for you. Our filters let you narrow by team size (solo, pairs, 4-person, 6–12 runners), terrain (road, trail, mixed), difficulty (beginner through expert), distance (under 50 miles to 200+ miles), and the month you want to race.
First-time relay teams
Filter for beginner difficulty and shorter distances to find approachable road relays perfect for a first team experience.
Experienced ultra runners
Search for expert-level trail and ultra relays covering 100–200+ miles across mountain, desert, and coastal terrain.
Corporate and charity teams
Many listed relays welcome mixed-ability teams and offer relay divisions within larger road races — great for group fundraising.
