The Zilker Relays is a 10 mile event. Teams are comprised of 4 runners, each running approximately 2.5 mile loops from one central festival/transition area. The team concept of the Zilker Relays is not unique, but the combination of a relay, festival home base, drinks and music, make this experience a favorite for runners of all calibers and ages. You don't have to train like a marathoner for this

Most weekends you'll find leading runners through some of Central Texas' best trails, embracing rocks, roots, and elevation.
That's why we're especially grateful that they make an exception each year to join us at Zilker Relays.
It's a fun reminder that no matter where we prefer to run, Austin's running community comes together for special events.

There seems to be an unwritten rule among Texas runners:
The more summers you've survived, the less the heat seems to bother you.
We're not sure it's scientifically proven... but we're also not convinced it isn't.

Is it sweat?
Is it a glow?
In Texas, it's basically the same thing. ✨😎

Every year, we look for ways to capture the spirit of Zilker Relays in a single design.
This year's bib features a relay handoff framed by the Austin skyline at sunset, along with two partners that help make race day special: Tacodeli and Zilker Brewing.
The result is a little snapshot of what makes this event unique—teamwork, community, great local partners, and an unforgettable evening in Zilker Park.

We promise the live music starts after the race.
This runner just seemed eager to get the performance underway a little early. 🎤
Good thing there's a stage waiting at the finish line.

One of our favorite Zilker traditions?
The creativity that goes into team names.
Every year, runners somehow find new ways to make us laugh, and "Shin Sprints" is a great addition to the list.
Keep the puns coming.

There’s a certain confidence that comes from being completely present in the moment.
Focused, determined, and at peace with the challenge ahead.
