Williamsburg, Virginia is home to famous Colonial Williamsburg, the nation’s largest living history museum that introduces visitors to life in 18th century America. The historic Jamestown Island and Yorktown Battlefield are nearby, earning Williamsburg the nickname of the “Historic Triangle.” Visitors may also jump into modern times with a visit to Busch Gardens Williamsburg, which has over 350 acres of roller coasters, water parks, rides and attractions. Laser tag, haunted dinner theatres, bowling alleys and more are a part of the area, where there really is something for everyone.

There will be one transition area located at Chickahominy Riverfront Park.  The swim will take place in the Chickahominy river.  The swim course will be reversible depending on the conditions.  Our goal will be to make it safer and more favorable for you.  Water temperatures are likely to be in the high 70’s to low 80’s.

After leaving Chickahominy Riverfront Park, athletes take a right onto Rte 5 and over the Judith Steward Dresser Memorial Bridge for a rolling ride through the rural roads of Charles City County. The terrain is enough to give athletes time out of the saddle and to keep the ride interesting but won’t overly tax your legs for the run.

The entire run is on the newly completed Virginia Capital Trail, a 52-mile dedicated multi-use, paved trail connecting Richmond and Williamsburg along the historic and beautiful Route 5 corridor. After the first mile, the tall trees on either side of the trail provide ample shade for the flat run course. The bridge at the very beginning and end will provide a challenging start and finish to the run leg.

Celebrate the summer by tackling almost 120 miles in one night! Travel via foot and bike to Jamestown and back in a four-person relay-style race. You’ll explore the James River Park System, T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge, Virginia Capital Trail, Greensprings Greenway Trail, and more! Recruit your team and take on the Sports Backers Run Bike Relay presented by Ragnar. If you really want a challenge, take on this adventure with a two-person team or go it alone!

The Colonial200 Relay is a unique, overnight relay adventure in which you and 11 friends run 200 scenic miles through the heart of Virginia.  The Colonial200 Relay begins in Albemarle County in central Virginia and finishes in historic Jamestown.  Starting just north of Charlottesville in Preddy Creek Trail Park, the Colonial200 Relay will take you through the wine and horse country of central Virginia and near many of Virginia's most historic sites along the way.

Beginning near Charlottesville in central Virginia, the first flight of teams will start the 200 mile relay at 5:30 am on a Friday morning (April 20).  Over the next several hours, additional sets of teams will depart on their overnight journey through central Virginia to Jamestown. Teams will begin arriving at Jamestown around noon on Saturday to conclude their Colonial200 Relay experience. 

There are many opportunities for fun, history, and adventure along the course of the Colonial200 Relay.  The beginning of the Colonial200 Relay takes you near Monticello and Montpelier as well as through the wine country of central Virginia.  The finish is along the Capital Trail traveling into Williamsburg near some of the most famous plantations in Virginia (Shirley, Berkeley, and Sherwood Forest).  Finishing across the street from the Jamestown Settlement, the Colonial200 Relay is a great way to see the rich history of Virginia.  Once you have completed the Colonial200 Relay, you can finish your weekend off by visiting the many attractions in Colonial Williamsburg (including Busch Gardens).

Teams for the Colonial200 Relay are generally made up of 4 to 12 people who split 36 legs. For instance, each person of a 12 person relay team will run three legs over distances varying from 3 – 10 miles. Each team will provide support vans to drop off and pick up runners at designated exchange zones along the 200 mile route. 

The Colonial200 Relay is great fun for everyone - you don't have to be an ultra runner to enjoy it.  For a 12 person team the distances and training are similar to that of a half marathon.
