The
Wild Miles Relay is the legendary 183-mile non-stop team relay
race located in San Diego County of California. Beginning at Borrego
Springs, the relay race winds its way around ANZA-Borrego
Desert State Park and Cleveland
National Forest before ending at Pine
Valley, California. Over its 183 miles, the course sees elevation
changes ranging from the desert floor in Borrego Springs to 4200
ft. elevation. The relay can be run by either five-person or ten-person
teams.
Team
Thrown Together at the End of the Road
is a ten-person team that eventually formed from the merging of
two incomplete teams and assorted zany characters. Captained by
Caleb Eames, the team began their experience at approximately
8:00 am (Pacific Time) from Borrego Springs on Saturday, April
29 and continued - non-stop - into Sunday, April 30 where they
celebrated the conclusion of their experience at Pine Valley.
