4 Runners - 1 Tropical Island - 1 Virtual baton

4 RUNNERS – 1 TROPICAL ISLAND – 1 VIRTUAL BATON


The Big Island Relay is a virtual relay challenge, where teams of four work together to virtually run (or walk) around the Island of Hawai’i. Gain distance by running or walking, then passing a virtual baton between your teammates.

Your team members can be located anywhere in the world!

Start anytime after the challenge begins. Watch your team move along a map of the island as you run or walk, and add distance.

Finish the relay and unlock your chance at special prizes!


Challenge Starts: November 1, 2020

Challenge Ends: November 30, 2020

Distance: 409km (255mi)

How it Works

1 - Assemble Your Team

Get a team captain to register your team. The team captain will get an email giving them access to the Virtual Baton app. Use the app to invite runners to your team (up to four per team), and set the order that you’ll run in.

Your team members can be located anywhere in the world!

2 - Run, then Pass the Baton

Run (or walk) as far as you want, upload your run to Strava, then use Virtual Baton app to pass a virtual baton to the next runner on your team. They get a notification telling them that they have the baton.

Any Strava activities that get completed while someone holds the virtual baton add distance to your team total.

3 - Finish to Unlock Awards

Keep the baton moving through your team to gain distance. Follow your progress on the leaderboard and on a map to watch your team move around the island.

Complete the goal distance before the challenge ends to unlock chances at bonus prizes for your team!
