2019 Hudson Relays

Beginning in 1910, the Hudson Relays was created to commemorate the campus move from Hudson, OH to Cleveland, OH. The Hudson Relays itself is a race amongst each class's best runners to the test in a 26 mile relay around campus. An alumni team is recruited each year to compete with current students in this long-standing tradition.

On Your Mark...Hudson Relays! The Hudson Relays return on Saturday, April 27! Join the Alumni Team when current classes, graduate students and alumni face off in this longtime tradition featuring a 25-mile relay around campus.

Each alumni participant will run a half-mile section of the course.

Let's run around campus again!
