Starting Waves

The Market to Market® Relay Iowa will feature teams from across the Midwest, starting in different starting waves leaving from Jefferson, Iowa. Waves will begin at 5:00 am and leave every 30 minutes.

When will teams be assigned to a Starting Wave?
Teams will receive their starting wave 20 days prior to race day and will be notified via email. We assign teams to a starting wave after the Final Roster deadline. Hang in there, we’re just as excited as you!

Why Is my team in this Starting Wave?
Starting waves are structured to maximize your fun and safety for all teams on race day. Once your start wave is locked into position, changes are not possible. Teams are placed in waves based upon the goal of your team reaching the finish line by 8:30 pm, while maximizing your fun. At time of registration, teams have the option to register for a VIP team to choose their starting wave. This is a limited option on a first-come first-serve basis available at the time of registration.

Note: Teams are not placed slowest to fastest and we are confident your team will finish prior to 8:30 pm. Have fun. Still curious how it works? Learn more on the advanced computer program that Don't Panic Labs created to put teams into a starting wave.
