2026 RUNNING RELAYS

JULY 18-19, 2026 AT 7:00 PM
Baptist Health Hamburg
3000 Baptist Health Blvd, Lexington, KY 40509

We unfortunately have had to make several difficult decisions to scale back the event this year.  We will be hosting running relays only.  That means we will not be holding the triathlon relay. We made it a great 10 years with the triathlon relay, but ultimately the cost and logistics of this type of a race have exceeded our capacity. We certainly look forward to having you on race day for a fun night of running. The race site will be at Baptist Health Hamburg.

IRONCOLOGY
RELAYS

The Survive the Night Triathlon is the first (that we know of) overnight triathlon relay which we started in 2015. This race was first and foremost meant to be a memorable experience for both beginners and experienced athletes. We made a great 10 year run with the triathlon, and moving forward we will be hosting running relays and our ultra run.

In order to make this event as exciting and fun as possible, we will bring in DJs, food, and other entertainment, and when you add that to the atmosphere of the event itself in the middle of the night, everyone is sure to enjoy themselves.
