Running 199 Miles

Here's a quick run-down of how The Relay works. We have a team of 12 runners. Each runner runs three legs. Each leg is anywhere from 3-9 miles long. When we're done (in a bit over 20 hours), we'll have covered 199 miles from Calistoga to Santa Cruz. That means that we run through the night.

Last year Google One flew past the field. We started last and finished first, passing every team with a head-start well before the finish line. We've had some turnover with our line up, but we're looking for a repeat victory.

Here's the lineup for this year:

Van 1

  • Tom Phillips
  • Adam Borelli
  • Daniel Filip
  • Chris Holstrom
  • Joel Constable
  • Jimmy Caputo

Van 2

  • Mike Brandell
  • Dan Brown
  • Eddie Higgins
  • Crosby Freeman
  • Justin Romaniuk
  • Devin Anderson


In two hours, our fearless captain Tom will be at the start line to kick it off. Time for some serious running.
