Market to Market Relay Iowa
The Market to Market Relay Iowa is a team relay that covers about 75 miles from Jefferson to Downtown Des Moines. The course is divided into multiple stages with 18 exchange points along the route.
Teams consist of six, seven, or eight runners. Each stage varies in length, typically from three to five miles, and team members rotate through running and riding in a support van between exchanges. The event format creates recurring periods of running followed by rest and travel to the next exchange.
The event listing includes standard relay entries as well as options such as VIP and prior year deferral categories. Fees and registration windows are set for the different entry types.
The relay emphasizes staged running over a point-to-point route through Iowa, with fixed exchange locations that organize how and when runners change over. The structure allows teams to distribute distances among members across the approximately 75-mile route. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
