Packets are to be picked up by one member of each team on race day.

LIMITED TO FIRST 1800 RUNNERS - No Exceptions. We want to keep our event manageable and focused on the running and fitness community, so we are limiting registration.

2022 Course

The 2.5 mile course starts and finishes on the north side of Zilker Park (about 200 meters east of the volleyball courts). The post-race party is conveniently located right next to the finish line where trees, the Zilker lawn and team tents create a festive atmosphere.

We have plenty of places to park…

Parking Notes:

• Designated drivers are awesome
• Bus #30 Runs right by the park
• Carpooling is appreciated

Can children participate in the Zilker Relays?
Definitely, if they can make it 2.5 miles on their own. If they're not quite ready for a full relay, we have a Kid's Relay for children 12 and younger...sign up for the Zilker Kids Relay...teams of 4 kids each run a much abbreviated course of ~150 meters.

We also have a concert in the park after the relay, so bring your blankets and lawn chairs and prepare for some fun live music with Type A !

We are bringing back the post-race beer garden thanks to our friends at Real Ale. The beer is free to all and is NOT a condition of your entry. If friends/family would like to eat, they can purchase a meal ticket prior to the event. No onsite sales available for meal tickets.

Are the Zilker Relays associated with a charity?
Definitely. We are partnering with Marathon Kids. We believe in getting kids excited about running and building great communities.

Do I need to buy a meal ticket if I'm on a team?
