We have been in touch with Team Captains with more information already and will be getting more information out to Volunteers and other Race Partners soon.
We are very sad that we are unable to hold the race this year and know it will be missed by everyone involved.
The Tuna Relay /200 is an amazing, overnight relay adventure in which you and your team will run 200 scenic miles across North Carolina, finishing at the beach. Enjoy some tuna and your beverage of choice after a job well done.
The Tuna Relay /200 begins just outside of Raleigh at Lake Benson Park in Garner, NC and finishes in Atlantic Beach on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina.
From casual joggers to serious racers, this event is great fun for everyone. Teams are made up of 4 to 12 people who split 36 legs.
Each team will provide support vans to drop off and pick up runners at designated exchange points along the 200-mile route.
On Friday morning October 18, 2024, the first flight of teams will start their 200 mile adventure around 5:00 am. Over the next several hours, additional sets of teams will depart on their overnight journey through eastern North Carolina to the beach.
Teams will begin arriving at Atlantic Beach around noon on Saturday to conclude their Tuna Relay /200 experience with the best post race party you could hope for. We will have tuna and beer and the beautiful North Carolina coast and Atlantic Ocean.
This 200-mile race is broken into 36 legs that begins just outside Raleigh and finishes in Atlantic Beach.

Note: Teams should be able to average a 10:00/mi for the course. It is OK if some of your team members are slower than a 10:00/mi, but the average should be close to that. Contact us if you have concerns about your team pace
Get the details on each of the 36 legs and download routes for your GPS watch.
We have developed a race worksheet to help team captains with leg assignments, team pace, and estimating arrival times at exchange zones. Instructions are included on the worksheet.
Note: Teams do not need to turn this in
