Grab a partner and take on the Timberclaw Partner Relay—a fast-paced, 3-hour endurance challenge built around teamwork, grit, and consistency.
Teams of two will alternate 2-mile loops across a mixed course of trail and open field. One runs while the other recovers—then you switch. Keep trading laps and rack up as much distance as possible before time runs out.
Run your loop, recover, and get ready to go again.
Whether you’re pushing the pace or settling into a steady rhythm, every lap adds up—and the team that covers the most ground wins.
