Who is Running Escapes?
Running Escapes is really Keith and Judy Adabie who are both the owners and your race captains. We are both certified coaches, CPR trained and experienced relay runners. We will be planning the events and then arriving on site to make sure it all goes smoothly. Often, we will be running too. In the event we cannot attend, we will be sending an experienced relay-runner to take our place and lead you through the week-ends events.

What are Running Relays?
A Running relay is typically a 200-mile event that
features teams of 12 runners who run a total of 36 legs in sequence over a 24 to
36 hour period. Each runner will run on average 6 miles 3 times for a
total of 18 miles. The actual mile varries based on the legs of the race.
There is typically something for every runner with leg totals ranging from 12 to
24 miles for all 3 legs.
The team lives together in a 2 vans, each with 6 runners. Once van will be an
"active" van and the other will be at rest. The active van has the runners
for the next 6 legs. The team will continue to the next exchange and wait
for their runner to hand off. At a major exchange the vans will swap and
the rest van will become the active van. It has been referred to in
running articles as Spring Break for adults as it is a lot less serious than
your average marathon. Every relay is different, but all offer something unique
to be experienced.

How does Running Escapes work?
We gather interested runners and build teams for
the relay races. One of us will come out and run with the team and make
sure everything goes smoothly. We package up the relay so the price
includes everything except airfare and individual meals. You will
never owe more after ther relay, even if someone drops off the team at the last
minute. We will even provide all the required safety gear and additional
glow for the night. The vans will be stocked with water, gatorade and
basic runner food.
A $100 deposit at sign up will hold your spot on the team and lock in your trip
price. The $100 is refundable until 60 days before the race.

What is included in the relay trip?
While each trip differs, we normally include the
following components in our price:
• Team registration, transportation between the airport and hotels, vans for the
relay and gas costs.
• Lodging both before and after the relay and hopefully somewhere in the middle
to shower.
• Team shirts, van decorations, race maps, first aid kits and required safety
equipment.
• A cooler for each van, ice and basic food and drink supplies for the vans.

What
is not included in our package?
The biggest items not include are meals that you
eat out and the cost to get to the relay (i.e., airfare) but read the relay
descriptions as some races will be different.
