Welcome to the official site for the Sunrise to Sunset Relay, a one of a kind relay event, and the first of its kind in the state of Florida. Stretching 170 miles, teams will race from the picturesque setting of Indian Riverside Park in Jensen Beach to the bustling Downtown Ft Myers district, before finishing at the riverfront properties of the Historic Thomas Edison and Henry Ford Winter Estates. The Sunrise to Sunset Relay truly is Florida's Ultimate Running Adventure!

When it comes to a "team building experience", not much can compare to being in a van for 24 hours with your closest friends. Running 5 milers without much sleep, under eating while over promising to "run faster next time", and hearing your buddy drone on about the time he...well you get the picture. Sound like fun? Yeah it does to us too, which is why we are bringing you the opportunity to participate in this truly unique event. For those of you new to relay racing, welcome! You may want to check out the basics to find out just what you are getting yourself into.

Glad you asked...The relay begins at the idyllic setting of Indian Riverside Park, a 54 acre park nestled along the western shore of Indian River, and finishes on the beautiful grounds of the Historic Thomas Edison and Henry Ford Winter Estates in Downtown Ft. Myers. In between participants can expect to run over the causeways of Jensen Beach, have legs on the roads in cities such as Stuart and Clewiston, run along the dikes of Lake Okeechobee,and in more rural settings of central Florida. Nearing the end of the run you'll experience the breathtaking views of the Caloosahatchee river as you cross the Edison Bridge into Downtown Ft Myers, and run along the riverfront on your way to the lush tropical grounds of the Thomas Edison and Henry Ford Winter Estates where not only the finish line and a sense of accomplishment awaits you, but a darn good time as well in a truly gorgeous setting...more

And actually, let's clear one thing up before we get started...we may call it relay "racing", but honestly this is quite a ways to be "racing". We can hear a few of you now saying, "but we can win this thing", which is a great attitude to have, and we would never frown on the competitive spirit, but for most of us it's more about "relay finishing". For those of you intent on "winning this thing", just give us time to get the finish line set up before you arrive!

The Sunrise to Sunset Relay makes only one guarantee...you will have a good time, or your participant T-Shirt is free! Below is a sampling of what you can expect to enjoy:
