The Oldest Tradition on Campus
Beginning in 1910, the Hudson Relays was created to commemorate the campus move from Hudson, Ohio to Cleveland. The Hudson Relays is a race amongst the classes that put each class' best runners to the test in a 25-mile relay around campus. Each alumni participant will run one or more sections of the 25-mile course. As per tradition, if the same class wins four consecutive years, they are treated to a steak and champagne dinner, courtesy of the president and the provost.

What if I have a preference of which leg I run?
Please indicate your preferred leg(s) on your registration and we will do our best to accommodate requests. We typically have enough alumni runners so that each participant only runs one leg of the race.
