The Reach The Beach (RTB) Relay (rtbrelay.com)is the longest distance running relay race in the United States. The RTB Relay will take place in picturesque New Hampshire during the start of the New England foliage season.

The relay will consist of teams that will rotate through 36 transition areas as they cover the approximate 200 mile distance of the race. This means that each relay team member will run 3 or more legs of varying lengths and difficulty.
