How does the relay work?

With your team of 4 you will decide what order you and your runners will run.

Each runner will start my running a mile (see route) and upon return you will "slam" a cold beer!  Once your beer is done, the next runner will start.

a. Bidwell Classic on March 7th, 2026 (5k, 10k, Half Marathon)

Of the races you must do a minimum combination of a  5k, 10k and Half Marathon or greater.

(Examples:  BC 10k, Trail half, AB 5k or  BC half, Trail Endurance Challenge, AB 10k) Note: If you do the endurance challenge as part of your challenge it can count towards any race distance if you complete at least one lap (one lap – 5k, two laps – 12k, 3-4 laps- Half Marathon) But you will only be age graded for this race if you complete it.

All race times will be verified, age graded and uploaded by the race director the week after each race.

 

What is age grading?

Age grading is a way of analyzing running performance relative to your age and gender. It is based on world record race time data and attempts to estimate the best possible time an athlete can run a certain distance based on their age and gender. By using age grading this “levels” the playing field, allowing older or younger runners to be able to compete equally against those in their 20’s-40’s.

When your race is age graded you will receive a score. At the end of the challenge each of your 4 scores will be added up to give you a final score.

• All who complete the challenge will receive a limited-edition custom zipper hoodie from Upper Park Clothing ($50.00 value)

• Cost to participate $30.00 per runner.

• Must be registered by March 6th, 2026, to qualify for this year’s challenge
