HOW IT WORKS

Peak 2 Brew (P2B) Relay provides Runners a Unique Team Relay Race Experience...the ULTIMATE Relay Experience! Teams start at a PEAK, travel along a scenic and challenging course, and finish at the BREW. If you love running and conquering new challenges in life all while creating unforgettable memories with your friends/family then P2B is what you are looking for...

P2B provides Teams with two different Road Relay Event Options:

BARK EATER Relay

BARK EATER Relay = Long Distance Vehicle Supported Running Relay from a PEAK to a BREW. The BARK EATER Relay is a 2 Day Overnight Event (Break/Rest at Halfway Checkpoint), ~130 miles over 24 legs conquered by 3-6 Runners on a Team.

SPRINT Relay

SPRINT Relay = Long Distance Vehicle Supported Running Relay from a PEAK to a BREW. The SPRINT Relay: Single Day event (follows second half of BARK EATER course), ~60 miles over 12 legs conquered by 3-6 Runners on a Team.

HOW IT WORKS

Organize your Team of Runners: Friends, Family, Co-workers, Club Members, Friends of Friends, etc.

P2B EVENT COMPARISON TABLE

If you are new to Running or Team Relay Races we recommend starting with the SPRINT Relay. The SPRINT Relay provides runners with the flexibility to complete a P2B style relay in a single day and for a 6-PACK Team type only having to run ~10 miles total over 2 Separate Legs.

Looking for the ULTIMATE Relay Experience...if so then the BARK EATER Relay is the Relay for you. The P2B ADK BARK EATER Relay (previously known as the BEAST) is a 130+ mile Overnight Team relay with teams of 3-6 Runners on an Epic Journey through the heart of the Adirondacks in NY

TEAM RELAY 101:

First determine if you are participating in a BARK EATER or SPRINT Relay

All P2B Relay Events require a Team of Runners that the Teams are responsible for organizing. Teams will also be required to provide a Team Support Vehicle (following Rules & Regulations for approved Vehicle types). Once you determine your Event Type (BARK EATER & SPRINT) then it's time to organize your Team and plan for the Event:

ORGANIZE TEAM: Teams can be fellow friends, family, co-workers, friends of friends, etc. We recommend Team Captains find a Co-Captain for the Team so you can divide and conquer finding runners to join your Team.

NOTE: If your having a hard time filling your Team or have runners that have to backout...check out the P2B RUNNERS TANK

TEAM CHECKLIST: Check out the P2B TEAM CHECKLIST to ensure you complete all the items required for your Team to be prepared for P2B
TRAINING: Make sure you and your Team train for P2B. We also recommend getting the Team together a couple times before race day to make sure everyone is in sync with what to do on Race Day. Training is not all physical, all runners need to train their brain on the Event Material (Course Maps, Rules & Regulations, etc.).

P2B EVENT DAY:

The time has come for Event Day...what do I do now? For all P2B Events there will only be 1 runner from a Team running at a given time and there will always be someone from the Team running.

ROAD RELAYS: Runner #1 will start the race at the PEAK / START LINE. After Runner #1 starts, the rest of the Team will drive ahead to the next Exchange point in the Team Vehicle and wait for Runner #1 to enter the Exchange. Runner #2 will get out of the Team Vehicle and wait for Runner #1 in the Exchange Transition Area. Runner #1 will then hand off to Runner #2 and Runner #2 will continue to the next Exchange. Runner #1 will then get into the Team Vehicle and drive ahead to the next Exchange. This will continue until all Runners on the Team have run there first Leg.

After each Runner has completed their first leg, then the cycle will start again at Runner #1 for each runner to then run their second leg. This will continue depending on which Team Type (4-PACK, 6-PACK) you are running and depending on how many runners you have on your Team.

For BARK EATER Event (only), once Teams reach the halfway checkpoint, Teams will break and camp out overnight before section 2 of the course starts in the morning at the same times as the SPRINT event starts.

When do we finish at the BREW? After each Runner has run their Legs and all Legs of the Course have been completed then the last Runner on the Team will lead the Team to the Finish at the BREW. We encourage all Runners from the Team to meet your last runner close to the finish and then run across the Finish Line together as a Team...you did it as a Team so finish as a Team!! At the BREW it's time to PARTY!! Kick back relax, eat some food, drink some BREW, and relive your P2B Experience with your Team and other P2B Teams.

P2B RELAY DEFINITIONS:

LEG = Distance from one Exchange to the next Exchange. This is what we call the portion of the course that each runner runs from Exchange to Exchange.
EXCHANGE = Predetermined location on the course where a Leg ends and Runners Transition from one to the next.
KILL = This is when a Runner passes another Runner on the Course
