26×1 Relay

Held every summer by the Somerville Road Runners, the 26 x mile relay is probably the most efficient, exciting, and chaotic way to run a marathon. Each club participating, including Wicked Running Club for the last several years, fields a team of 26 to run a mile on the track. It doesn’t require the training of a marathon, doesn’t do the same kind of long-term damage on your legs, is a lot faster than a marathon, and is more fun if you like to cheer on your friends.
