How to Register

Team Captains should be the first to sign up:

• submit team payment

• set up a team name and password and share with team members. Note: You can sign up a full team before you have secured commitments from all team members

• select team volunteer option during their registration process.

Once the Team Captain registers, they will share the team name and password with their teammates, so all teammates can register/join their team with no additional registration cost.

Choose your Volunteer Option

Fun Fact: This overnight relay race is made possible by over 130 volunteers on the course. Most volunteers are either friends/family of the race directors, team members running the event OR a local nonprofit raising awareness and funds for their cause or organization. Each team is given two options to help us make this event possible while giving back:

Option 1: Supply Volunteers: 12 person teams will supply two (2) volunteers; Ultra teams and High School teams will supply one (1) volunteer to staff the runner exchanges.

Option 2: Teams can choose to make a tax-deductible donation to Windsor Gives, 501(c)3 non-profit to support with providing volunteers for the relay. With Option 2, Windsor Gives will email the Team Captain an invoice in early 2025. You can find Volunteer Pricing HERE
