Wasatch Back - supply list

The Wasatch Back team relay is nearly here, I am so excited I can hardly stand it. Our team is making final preparations; if you plan to participate I have included a check list you might find helpful below.This is such a unique race, I would encourage everyone to experience it sometime in their running career. Think of it as a 188-mile party with 12 best friends. Teams of 12 will rock out to live bands, enjoy the wacky participant costumes, and make life-long friends with teammates and competitors. Teams will party along the backside of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains from Logan (85 miles north of Salt Lake City) to Park City, Utah (15 miles east of Salt Lake City). Wish us luck, we are “Running our Butt’s off” – the butt’s are a dead give away. So, if you see us cheer extra loud. Go team!
