5K Medley Relays

Two Competitive Divisions

Public Safety Division

Police, Fire, EMS, and Corrections agencies from across the region will compete in a relay designed to push grit, coordination, and camaraderie.

• 8 legs of varying distances

• Designed for strategy, pacing, and pride

• Department gear or agency colors encouraged

• Relay transitions take place near the finish zone for maximum crowd energy

Division 1: Public Safety Showdown

Police. Fire. EMS. Corrections.
This relay will pit area agencies against one another in a 6-leg medley relay designed to test speed, teamwork, and pride.

Each leg varies in distance to highlight strategy as much as strength.
Which agency will earn the belt and which will walk away vowing revenge next year?

It’s more than a race—it’s a rivalry.

Division 2: High School Elite

The valley’s fastest young athletes go head-to-head in a high school-only medley, representing their schools and running for their title.

• Schools may field co-ed or all-gender teams

• Each leg ranges from 200m to 800m to emphasize versatility

• Expect blistering times and fierce competition

This is where future champions make their mark.
