Run Away to the Bay

Run Away to the Bay

Run Away to the Bay is a spring team relay covering 55 mile from Menominee Park on the shore of Lake Winnebago in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to the waterfront finish at The City Deck in Downtown Green Bay. Teams consist of 2 to 8 runners and must meet a minimum age of 16. The average team pace must not exceed 12:00 minutes per mile.

The course heads north from Oshkosh through Neenah and Menasha, continues through Darboy and Kaukauna, and enters the Fox River Trail just north of Forest Junction. Runners stay on the trail through DePere to the City Deck finish. The event uses chip timing and distributes awards to the top three finishers in each division at the finish area.

Teams provide their own support vehicle and may divide legs as they choose provided the full distance is covered. There are no formal exchange zones; teams exchange on their own and pass a supplied slap band between runners. Support vehicles should carry hydration and a first aid kit. Assistance from vehicles is allowed in the form of food, fluids, and clothing, but drivers may not transport runners while they are on course.

Event materials supplied to participants include a front bib with timing chip, wristband, participant shirt, finisher medal, finish line food and beverage, and a mobile aid station stocked with snacks and drinks. Runners should wear their bib on the front outermost layer and the final runner must wear the bib with the timing chip. Traffic has the right of way and sidewalks should be used where available; headphones are permitted with low volume and single ear usage is recommended for safety.
