The 2025 Zilker Relays will take place on Friday, September 5, 2025, at Zilker Park!
Don't Miss Out on Austin's Ultimate Relay Race Event!
Celebrate with Tacodeli, local beer, and live music!
The Zilker Relays is a 10-mile race with teams comprised of 4 runners. Each participant runs a 2.5 mile loop from one central festival/transition area. The team concept of the Zilker Relays is not unique, but the combination of a relay, festival home base, drinks, and music, make this experience a favorite for runners of all calibers and ages.
You don’t have to train like a marathoner for this one. All you have to do is be willing to run/jog/walk/stroll 2.5 miles, enjoy live music, and great food and get 3 of your siblings/kids/buddies/colleagues to come join you for this one of a kind running experience.
What’s Included With Your Zilker Relays Registration?
Your team entry comes packed with perks to make race night unforgettable:
- Entry for a 4-person team
- A post-race dinner from Tacodeli and drinks from Topo Chico, Sap's, and Nuun
- Live music from The Regulars & access to the legendary Zilker after-party
- Custom awards for top teams
- And yes, each teammate gets a free Zilker Relays t-shirt!
Run, eat, party, and rep your team in style. This isn’t your average race. It’s a celebration.
All proceeds from the event benefit Marathon Kids, an Austin-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering the next generation of runners nationwide.
