Hudson Relays
Another year has passed, which means another Hudson Relays race! For the uninitiated, Hudson Relays is CWRU’s oldest annual tradition and is still going strong today! It was initially started in 1910 to commemorate the relocation of the campus from Hudson, Ohio, to its current location in the University Circle area but has since grown to be loved and highly anticipated by students and alumni alike. We are recruiting runners and volunteers for the 114th Annual Hudson Relays which will take place on April 27th, 2024, from 10 am - 1 pm! Each Class year, including Grad students and Alumni, must recruit 50 runners for the race. If you are interested in representing our Class by running or volunteering this year in the Hudson Relays, please fill out the form in the QR code. If you run or volunteer, you will receive a free Hudson Relays T-shirt, water bottle, breakfast, AND lunch! We are also getting suggestions for quotes on the T-shirt for our class and the commentator. So be sure to fill out the form! The class that wins the Hudson Relays will have their year engraved upon the rock outside the south wall of Adelbert Hall, which you may have seen. Wouldn’t it be so cool to see “graduate students” on that rock this year… Stay tuned for more details on Hudson Relays 2024, including information on how to access the race day live stream!
