Survive the Night Relays
Survive the Night Relays takes place July 18-19, 2026 at Kroger Field in Lexington, KY. The event is scaled back to running relays only; the triathlon relay will not be held. All proceeds are donated to cancer patient support care and no refunds are offered.
Options include marathon relays, a solo marathon, double marathon relays, and 12 hour ultra events. The marathon relay uses a new paved course with a lap distance described as manageable for casual runners and walkers. The ultra course includes a mixed on and off road loop with a grassy, trail-like section. Ultra solo participants are chip timed and ranked by total distance completed in 12 hours. The event will provide support, food, and music.
Teams may include up to ten runners for some events. Team captains must pay the entire team registration cost when creating a team; team members then join without additional payment and select their shirt size. Early registration discounts apply until 1 June 2026. Registration by June 20, 2026 is required to secure team members' shirt sizes. Members of Bluegrass Runners receive a $5 or $10 registration discount. The event is cupless; participants should bring their own cup or other water container for hydration.
