What started the Headwaters Relay? Where did the idea come from?

Read race director Don Demetriades' essay on his inspiration to put this race together!

What equipment does each team need?

• Camping equipment, unless you plan to stay in a motel each night
• Enough liquid, food, and first aid resources to support the team's runners each day. THERE ARE NO AID STATIONS ALONG THE ROUTE.
• At least one high-clearance, four-wheel-drive vehicle (most SUV's do the trick)
• At least two vehicles for all three days
• At least one runner who is comfortable running rocky, steep mountain trails
• Runners who are solid/experienced distance runners, with a solid distance base under them. THIS RELAY IS NOT EASY FOR THE FIRST TIME RUNNER!
