RUN THE GREENWAY
Teams consisting of 3 or 6 members will travel the route from start to finish with each team member running 3 legs (6-member team) or 6 legs (3-member ultra team).
Teams will start in waves between 4:00 am – 9:00 am; slower teams earlier and faster teams later. Team start times will be announced several weeks before the event so you can plan your accommodations and travel.
The course is split into 18 relay legs with an exchange zone between each one. Race Start, Leg 1, Exchange 1, Leg 2, Exchange 2, Leg 3, Exchange 3, etc.
An easy-to-use Pace Calculator has been set up in Excel for team captains to download and determine team overall pace. Race start times are determined by team pace. If you find that your team’s pace has changed, please log into your Haku participant account and make the change by July 9, 2023 to update it.
Please note: calculator does not work on iPhone or iPad.
HMF continues to closely monitor best safety practices for outdoor events and plan race details following state and local guidelines. If race modifications are required, details will be updated on site pages and via email to all registered participants.

Teams are required to maintain the same sequence and rotation of runners throughout the race (see table above for runner rotation breakdown).
When determining your team’s order, Captains should consider the following: leg distance, course terrain, time of day, and runner fitness.
If a runner is unable to continue in the event due to injury or illness, the following team members must finish the event with the remaining runners continuing in the same sequence.
Teams must begin the event with six team members if they are in the 6-Person Team division, and 3 team members if they are in the 3-Person Team division. No exceptions.
Teams are required to maintain an average pace of at least 10:30 minutes per mile to complete the event within the 16.5 hour time limit. We understand that teams may consist of runners with varying abilities, so periodic checks will be done to make sure your team can complete the race before the finish line closes at 8:30 pm. It is crucial to accurately estimate your team pace to assign your start wave. More…
