Wouldnt it be cool if we had a 200 mile relay like the one thats in the book. Basically each team has 11 people and a crew in a Van. Start off at a certain location and each person covers 5 miles and then rests in the van. The race keeps going thru the night and into the next day till you hit the destination thats 200…

A lot of clubs use to do these years ago. I know ours ran from Galway to Dublin on a few occasions.

There's the Race Around Ireland in the biking world.
