Road Warrior Relay

Welcome to the least expensive Ultra you will ever sign up to run!

The Dick Pond Athletics / Worth Your Mile Running, Road Warrior Race is a 33.5 mile race through the trails and streets of Carol Stream, West Chicago, Geneva, Batavia, North Aurora, Warrenville, Wheaton and returning to Red Hawk Park in Carol Stream. The race can be run as an individual or as a relay team of varying sizes. Although open to the general public for participation, this race is free to all members of the Dick Pond Racing team for 2023. You can have multiple runners going at the same time or even a runner along side someone on a bike. The only requirements for completion of this race is that at least one runner runs the entirety of a leg and all legs are completed by the team.

The start time of the race will vary based on anticipated completion time with the goal of having the majority of teams complete by noon at which point they can walk across the street to the Dick Pond Athletics location in Carol Stream for the after party for free food and drinks.

REGISTRATION PROCESS

If you are running this race as a team of 1 or an individual runner, register using the individual option.

If you are on a Relay Team and you are the captain, make sure you create your team at registration and generate a passcode to provide to your teammates. If you are a teammate, chose the option to join an existing team, select the team from the drop down and type in the password provided to you by your captain. You will not be able to sign up for a team until your captain registers and creates the team.

What if I can't come to the race?

Worth Your Mile Running is committed to providing an excellent running experience and although we do not provide refunds for races under any circumstances, we understand life does have a way of changing your plans and do allow participants to transfer their registration to another runner. Instructions on how to complete this process can be found in the registration pages.

Transfers will be allowed for races of the same distance or a shorter distance. Transfers to longer distances can be done with the new participant paying the difference between the races costs based on the cost at the time of the transfer and not at the time of the original purchase. There will be a $2.00 transfer fee for all transfers.

How many team members can we have?

There is no limit on how many members you can have on your team. There are 6 legs and you can choose to break up those legs among as many people as you want. In the past teams have doubled up on legs or had people on bike while someone ran. You can even run all the legs on your own and complete an Ultra.

When do we know when our race start time will be?

Race start times will be based on your estimated completion duration. The goal is to have as many teams finish around the same time as possible so that we can all enjoy the after party together. Race start times will be provided on July 20 and an email will be sent to all the captains.
