The organizers of last year’s inaugural Great Allegheny Passage Trail Relay race say it was such a success that they are bringing it back for a second year.
Runners will sprint from the starting line on Canal Street in Cumberland, Md., for the second GAP Trail Relay at 8 a.m. Oct. 11.
Described as “the ultimate relay race,” the GAP Relay, presented by UPMC Health Plan, is unique, according to organizers.
Teams of eight, six or four runners tackle 24 legs of varying distances through the night along the 150-mile trail from Cumberland to Pittsburgh.
