Relays have become a bit of a “thing” in more recent years, but with the very real threat of Covid around, the smaller races have a bit more appeal to many than they used to. One of my favorite relays, even before Covid, has always been the Three Capes Marathon Relay. If you’ve never done this one, you really should.

It’s also an area that’s home to a terrific race, The 2021 Battle to the Pacific which offers a 5k, a 10k, and a Half Marathon on November 21st…

They are a mental, emotional, and sometimes spiritual experience that can connect us to something bigger than any…
