The Great Race History

Slate Creek Relay, began at Slate Creek Depot in 1977 on the 4th of July at 2:30 pm

The race started and ended at the Depot from 1977 to 1982. Sadly the Depot burned down July 26, 1982.

1983-1986 races started and ended at the Depot site, party following at the Elk's Club

There were no races run from 1987 until 2001 when the Chamber of Commerce requested

Jack Potucek to revive the Great Race Relay!

The race course started in "Woods Park" (Harvey Street) in 2001

The race course moved to "South Park" in 2002

The race course was "tweeked" a couple of times until 2007

The race course has remained the same from 2008 to present
The race was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid-19

JacK Potucek has been the Racemaster every year
