I ran the relay as a part of one of the *SIX* Oiselle teams! I had an absolute blast. The relay is a unique event in that while the "scenery" doesn't change, you're constantly getting cheers from your team and cheering on your team members and so it gives you some of the best community experiences that I've had!

The course is super easy (it's a ~440m track anyway...) but man, it is mentally really tough to run super super fast and then wait for your turn again. It's a great way to challenge yourself (especially if, like me, training hadn't gone anywhere during the winter) and also reconnect with good running friends. The soundtrack was also great - you can't wear headphones during the race, but the directors have a pretty sweet playlist that really gets you going (especially in the later laps)

The food was top notch, I will not forget the delicious cookies any time soon! It's also great since you can grab your own snacks and have them next to the track. I'd definitely recommend the relay to anyone!
