The Hudson Relays has been a fixture on campus each spring for nearly a century. The race dates back to 1910 when students at Adelbert College — declaring "this race is not in the normal course of mankind" — decided on a relay race to commemorate the school's 1882 move to Cleveland. The 26-mile route extended from the campus of Western Reserve Academy in Hudson to the large rocks in front of Adelbert Hall. The race became a 26-mile relay in 1990 and is now run on a closed course around University Circle. Hudson Relays is April 24, 2010!
