Event Overview

 

what

The Tuna Relay /200 is an amazing, overnight relay adventure in which you and your team will run 200 scenic miles across North Carolina, finishing at the beach. Enjoy some tuna and your beverage of choice after a job well done. 

The Tuna Relay /200 begins just outside of Raleigh at Lake Benson Park in Garner, NC and finishes in Atlantic Beach on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina.

Who

From casual joggers to serious racers, this event is great fun for everyone. Teams are made up of 4 to 12 people who split 36 legs. 

Each team will provide support vans to drop off and pick up runners at designated exchange points along the 200-mile route.

When

On Friday morning October 18, 2024, the first flight of teams will start their 200 mile adventure around 5:00 am. Over the next several hours, additional sets of teams will depart on their overnight journey through eastern North Carolina to the beach.

Teams will begin arriving at Atlantic Beach around noon on Saturday to conclude their Tuna Relay /200 experience with the best post race party you could hope for. We will have tuna and beer and the beautiful North Carolina coast and Atlantic Ocean.
