1 Reviews for The Relay - Calistoga to Santa Cruz
I've done the race twice and it's been fun, but there's definitely room for improvement. They chose some really beautiful parts to run in but provide absolutely no support, you have to buy food at the aid stations, they don't alert the people who live in the area that the race will be going through, and the night runs are a little sketchy. It is a pretty cool experience to run from Calistoga to Davenport (they changed the course) and it's a great bonding experience with the six others in your van. Just be ready to smell and get no sleep.
