WHAT IS IT?

The “Knight Night Relays” is a cross country race contested after dark. Teams of four will run “relay style” over a 1.5 mile loop. Most of the course will be lit by the stadium lights, but it will be supplemented by tiki torches, luminaries, and portable fixtures. Athletes will carry a “glow stick” in place of a baton.
