Notes
In short: Some miserable, nasty, sandy hills. The Relay’s hardest leg by far. Send out your toughest runner. It is scenic, if that's any consolation. Lots of "no-sign" roads. Like last year, the course will be marked with blue flags at the turns. John Rogucki was a tough competitor. He loved heat, hills and humidity which is why the relay was one of his favorite races. John passed away on April 17, 1997, four months after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. John’s spirit lives on today in the Great Lakes Relay.
