Welcome to the official site for the Sunset to Sunrise Relay, a one of a kind relay event, and Florida’s original long distance relay.

Stretching 180 miles, teams will race from the bustling Downtown Ft Myers district on the Gulf coast to the picturesque setting of Indian Riverside Park in Jensen Beach  on the Atlantic coast.

The Sunrise to Sunset Relay truly is Florida’s Ultimate Running Adventure!

What’s this All About?

When it comes to a “team building experience”, not much can compare to being in a van for 24 hours with your closest friends.

Running 5 milers without much sleep, under eating while over promising to “run faster next time”, and hearing your buddy drone on about the time he…well you get the picture.

Sound like fun? Yeah it does to us too, which is why we are bringing you the opportunity to participate in this truly unique event.

For those of you new to relay racing, welcome! You may want to check out the basics to find out just what you are getting yourself into.

Where Do You Run?

Glad you asked…The relay begins at Centennial Park in Downtown Ft Myers, an inner-city park nestled on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River and finishes 180 miles later at Indian Riverside park in Jensen Beach, FL – an absolutely gorgeous 54 acre park on the shores of Indian River and a stones throw from the Atlantic.

In between participants can expect to run over bridges and causeways, on roads and trails. Over 50 miles of the course takes place on the south side Lake Okeechobee scenic trail, an exceptionally well maintained and paved pathway through some of the most spectacular wildlife areas Florida has to offer.

Nearing the end of the run you’ll experience the breathtaking views of Indian River, Jensen Beach, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Finishing on the lush tropical grounds of the 54 acre park at Indian Riverside not only will the finish line and a sense of accomplishment greet you – but a darn good time as well!

Get Ready!
