The Drake Relays are BACK on TRACK in 2024! Relays week festivities begin on Saturday, April 20, with the packet pick up for the 56th Annual Drake Road Races, which will be held the next day. Participants will compete in the Grand Blue Mile presented by Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield on Tuesday, April 23. The Drake Relays will begin on the Blue Oval on Thursday, April 25 and will finish on Saturday, April 27.
We are seeking the support of more than 1,000 volunteers to be integrated into every aspect of the events. The volunteers will be instrumental in reaching our longstanding goal of guaranteeing everyone has something exciting to talk about when the events conclude.
