Hudson Relays 2026
A HUGE congrats to the 2025 Hudson Relay Winners for the THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR: Class of 2026!
The 117th Hudson Relays will take place on Saturday, April 25th. As this is CWRU's 200-year anniversary, the Hudson Relays will be returning to the original 26.2-mile route from Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio to Adelbert Hall at CWRU.
For the past several years, we have held a livestream of the race and have invited those around campus to join us for a watch party. This year, CWRU community members are invited to join us at Strosacker Auditorium for the watch party from 9:30am-12:30pm.
The Oldest Programmed Campus Tradition
Beginning in 1910, the Hudson Relays was created to commemorate the campus move from Hudson, OH to Cleveland, OH. The Hudson Relays itself is a race amongst the classes the put each class's best runners to the test in a 26 mile relay around campus. As per tradition, if the same class wins all four years in a row, they are treated to a steak and champagne dinner, courtesy of the President and the Provost. To date, only three classes have ever achieved this goal! Will your class be next?
