2024 Michigan Outback Relay

Registration is Now Open!

Thanks to all the participants of the 2023 MOR! Congrats to back to back champs, Growlies, that won the Jim Fitch Memorial Trophy in the Mixed Division. Also returning champs are Nondescript and Inoffensive. They won the Punch Metcalf Memorial Trophy in the Open Division. The 2024 Michigan Outback Relay will be July 19-21, 2024. Cost this year is $1500 per team (pay by May 1), and includes the race, camping on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, race shirts for all 10 members of the team, and pizza at the finish on Sunday. More importantly, members of participating teams get a handcrafted mug made by a Michigan potter! We are currently planning on returning to the upper peninsula for part of the weekend. See The Course page for more details!
