At Relay events,  "teams" of participants "camp-out" at a local high school, park or athletic area and take turns walking or running around a path or track.  Each team is required to have a member on the track at all times during the event.  "Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length."

Johnston's 2011 Relay for Life event will take place June 3rd & 4th at Memorial Park.
