About
What is this?
Bay To Lake is a self organized long distance
relay race.
This is not an official event.
You are responsible for your own safety and the safety
of other participants.
How do I participate?
You can sign up as part of a team, or individually and
we will try to place you on a team.
Team size is 6-8 athletes with 2 optional support
drivers.
The cost to participate is around $45-$65 per athlete.
What happens during the event?
Your team is given the 100km route about a week before
race day, it will be broken into segments that are about
5km each (2-3 miles).
Every athlete should expect to run at least 15km (10
miles) for their team.
You are encouraged to send more than one athlete per
segment, or complete the segments with other teams for
safety.
After you send the athlete(s), drive the rest of the
team to the next checkpoint to ensure you are there when
your athlete(s) arrive.
Roads will not be closed and the route will not be
marked, so be aware of your surroundings at all times.
Follow the provided route to the best of your ability.
You can skip segments if they feel unsafe or if you are
far behind the rest of the pack. You receive a 15
minute/mile time penalty per mile skipped.
You are responsible for avoiding cars, driving
cautiously, staying hydrated, keeping your phone
charged, dressing right, and staying on course.
This is a community oriented event so you are highly
encouraged to support other people on your team and
