Run Away to the Bay
Run Away to the Bay is a team relay covering 55 miles from Menominee Park in Oshkosh, Wisconsin to The City Deck in Downtown Green Bay. Teams may have 2 to 8 participants; the minimum age to run is 16 and the average team pace must not exceed 12:00 min/mile. Teams are seeded into wave starts based on their reported average pace, with slower teams seeded earlier.
The course heads north along Lake Winnebago through Neenah and Menasha, continues through Darboy and Kaukauna, then enters the Fox River Trail north of Forest Junction and follows the trail through DePere to the waterfront finish in Green Bay.
Event services include chip timing, a front bib for each runner, a wristband passed between teammates, a participant shirt, a commemorative finisher medal, finish-line food and beverage, and a mobile aid station stocked with snacks and drinks. A Driver Only Package is available as an optional add-on and includes an event shirt, a beverage, and a post-race meal.
Teams provide their own support vehicle and may divide legs as they choose while covering the full distance. There are no formal exchange zones; teams exchange the provided slap band when switching runners. Assistance with food, fluids, and clothing is allowed during legs but rides are not. Each team should carry a basic first aid kit; runners should obey traffic rules and use sidewalks where available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
