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 one. All you have to do is be willing to run/jog/walk/stroll 2.5" miles, enjoy live music and great food and get 3 of your siblings/kids/buddies/colleagues to come join you for this one of a kind running experience.

Turns out Halloween isn’t the only excuse to run around Austin in costume. 🎃

Zilker Relays runners have been training for this moment since September.

Costumes. Running shoes. Questionable decisions made while running 2.5 miles through Zilker Park.

Happy Halloween from some people who understood the assignment a little early. 👻

Rogue by name. Definitely not running alone. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Rogue Running brought the BIGGEST run club crew to Zilker Relays this year.

Turns out when Rogue says “group run,” they mean GROUP run.

Who’s coming for the run club crown next year?

Bidi Bidi Run Run. ❤️🏃

Because anything for Selenas… but first, 2.5 miles around Zilker. 😂

This shirt had us going bidi bidi bom bom all the way to the exchange zone.

Muy Austin. Muy Zilker. Muy bien.

“Where is the baton?”
We have excellent news. 😂
Sometimes at Zilker Relays, the answers you’re looking for are already in your hands.

We respect the tradition of Taco Tuesday. 🌮
But thanks to our friends at Tacodeli, we’re also big believers in Taco Friday.
Run your 2.5 miles. Cheer on your teammates. Get your taco. That’s the Zilker Relays way.
For the love of tacos — and the run of it.

Four weeks ago, the women were showing up at Zilker Relays. Tomorrow, we celebrate them at Daisy Dash. 🌼

Also put on by Austin Runners Club, Daisy Dash celebrates the female movement and the women and girls who keep moving our community forward.

One ARC race throwback before we make some new race-day memories tomorrow.

Hope to see you out there! 🌼

Zilker Relays: come hungry. Run hungry. Dress accordingly.

Apparently the fastest way around Zilker is to dress like your post-race meal.

For the second year in a row, the City of Austin showed up BIG at Zilker Relays!

With more than 30 teams each year, the City of Austin has been our largest group at the Relays two years running.

We love seeing coworkers turn into teammates for a night and so many people from across the City come together for a completely different kind of Friday evening in Zilker Park.

Turns out the people who keep Austin running also really like running Austin.

Exactly 4 weeks ago, this is what we were doing in Zilker Park. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🍻

Running, cheering, hanging out with friends, and having one very fun Friday night.

Wonder what’s going on in the park this weekend… 🤔 🎶
