Coast to Coast Relay 2004

In 2004, eighteen runners from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) ran from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. Passing a gold-colored baton 24 hours a day, we ran down desert roads, mountain passes, and snowy highways; completing what is essentially a 1500 x 2 mile relay. Our goal was to better a time set 25 years earlier by another RIT team who first accomplished the feat. Debuting exclusively on Flotrack, this is a glimpse into our experiences along the 2,730- mile journey. We slept when we could, survived on energy bars, ran two miles when it was our turn and did something none of us will ever forget. Run Time: 27 minutes Featuring the music of Steppenwolf, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Motion City Soundtrack, John Butler Trio, Franz Ferdinand, Alain Giroux, The Strokes, R.L. Burnside, Don McLean, Los Umbrellos, Willie Nelson, and The Hives.
