I was at my grandmas in schulenburg 2 weekends ago right off hwy 90 and there was this long team race split up into legs that was going thru schulenburg and weimar.

White passenger vans were following to move racers up to the next point. It looked like alot of fun and I looked it up but forgot the name. Think it was 100+ miles per team.

Yes!!! It is 203 miles of all running. You can split it up however you want. I talked to some of the people and for example one lady was running 23 miles and some people were running 4-10 each. The vans keep going ahead to drop off people and they rest until their relay partner makes it.

I havent, I organized a team for the first one but was out of country for the event.
My buddies still do it as 6-8 runner co-ed team, seems like it works out to about a marathon per runner over two days.
The logistics for a first year team are a nightmare, after the first year, my buddies ended up renting two vans every year to ensure everyone got enough rest and food with the the least about of BS...
