The Zilker Relays is a 10 mile event. Teams are comprised of 4 runners, each running approximately 2.5 mile loops from one central festival/transition area. The team concept of the Zilker Relays is not unique, but the combination of a relay, festival home base, drinks and music, make this experience a favorite for runners of all calibers and ages. You don't have to train like a marathoner for this

one. All you have to do is be willing to run/jog/walk/stroll 2.5" miles, enjoy live music and great food and get 3 of your siblings/kids/buddies/colleagues to come join you for this one of a kind running experience.

Well, this is officially the biggest Zilker Relays ever.
We just passed the highest registration total in the 23-year history of the race — and we're not done yet.
But we're getting close.
There are now limited team spots remaining, and at this pace, we may sell out before we even make it to the final price increase.
If you've been waiting to put your team together, consider this your sign.

Sometimes Zilker Relays is quite literally a team-building exercise.
Workplaces from across Austin are trading meetings for handoffs and putting their teamwork to a slightly different test.
Once again, the City of Austin is leading the pack with 30+ teams, with some serious workplace representation from BASE, Texas Mutual, UPLIFT Desk, Ørsted, and Realty Texas too.
Turns out the best team meeting might just be 4 × 2.5 miles in Zilker Park.

Which run group is taking over Zilker this year? 👀
Austin's running community is showing up in force for Zilker Relays, and right now Rogue Running leads the pack.
But there are some serious contenders chasing them down, including East Side Beer Runners (ESBR) and Texas Track Club.
And there's still time for somebody else to make a move.
So we're curious: which Austin run group is going to have the biggest crew at Zilker Relays this year?
Tag your group. Recruit another team. We'll see who shows up deepest on September 11.
