So, what exactly is Relay anyway?

I'm sure you've heard this question from many people.  Don't you ever wish you could show a diagram of what the event looks like?  No? 

Are you sure? 

"Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.

"At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length. Relayers do not have to walk all night, but each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event."

What to Expect at a Relay Event

  It all looks so simple and easy from this vantage point!  But, without you, the event would be just like the track above - empty and without the energy and enthusiasm you bring.  So, when you start to answer that question, remember your experiences and the reasons why you Relay.  You just may inspire a new teammate, team, committee member or corporate sponsor!
