Great Brazos Relay

There may be a light rain this morning here in Waco, but that doesn't mean it's a bad time to run! In preparations for a race such as GBR, it's helpful to be familiar with various running conditions, as you never know what the weather might be like on race day!

(Be safe and smart, of course. ;) We do not recommend sacrificing your health or safety to train for a race.)

Dear GBR friends and fans,

The GBR Committee is bummed to announce that due to a low registration turnout, the we have decided to cancel this year’s race. :( In order to ensure participant safety and build an incredible experience for all of our participants, event preparation for GBR 2017 will begin soon!

In the meantime, start talking to your friends about making a team and begin training! If you have any questions and/or feedback to provide to us, please reach out to us here or at [email protected].

We truly appreciates your all of your continued support and desire to be a part of such an incredible event, and we truly hope you will join us next year.

Thanks and Sic 'em,

-Great Brazos Relay Committee

Aaaaaand just like that, we have our first team registered!!!

The GBR crew excitedly welcomes team "Ponytail Express" to this year's race!! Welcome, y'all!

We know there are more teams out there waiting to register, so don't hesitate! Let us know that you'll be running with us this year! We want to welcome you too!

Happy Monday, GBR fans and runners!

Let's start the week with a word from another one of our committee members and former runner, Jarrod! Here's what he has to say about the Great Brazos Relay:

"Running by yourself in the middle of nowhere at night - with little sleep and only the stars and your thoughts as company - might seem crazy, but meeting up with your team at each checkpoint, then running the final mile together around Baylor's campus makes the mileage worth it. That shared experience is what I love more than anything about the Great Brazos Relay. It's a lot like college, honestly. Line Camp (Baylor in Independence) to graduation (Baylor in Waco) is full of challenges, but if you surround yourself with people who will push you and encourage you, even the challenges can be fun and rewarding.

I am honored and excited to be on the other side of the event now as staff member. Sharing the story of this race, working with sponsors from the community, and fine-tuning race day details has been so much fun. As we move closer to race day, my hope is that we can create the same experience for the runners that I had as a student!"

We're so grateful to have former GBR runners on our planning team! They know first-hand what it takes to have a successful GBR.

If you have questions about the race or registration, just let us know. We're excited to add another 120 miles under our shoes!
