2018 Athlete Guide

YellowJacket Racing is excited to announce The Battle at Bristol Mountain 24 hour Relay Challenge!  You and your team of 8 (or 4) runners will pack your bags for the weekend and embark on a fun filled adventure at Basecamp located at the bottom of Bristol Mountain.  Arriving on Saturday, you’ll set up camp for the weekend and prepare to tackle the steep climbs, challenging trails, and intense ascents that Bristol Mountain has to offer starting at noon.
The course: One 5Kish loop.
The challenge: Consists of how many loops your team can complete in a 24 hour window. 
The fun: When the sun goes down, the race doesn’t stop.  Strap on your headlamps and keep the party going. Catch glimpses of your teammate running up the mountain side while you relax and rest your legs at basecamp with your team.
The unexpected: When the clock strikes midnight, be ready for the Joker Lap!  An added challenge that will be announced on race day!
The nourishment: Fully stocked fuel stations will be provided at Basecamp as well as on course.  To keep your nutrition up, a pasta dinner will be provided Saturday night along with breakfast on Sunday morning.
