Description

Honors' signature campus event is the Fly-by-Night 50-Mile Relay. This event happens on the last Friday of classes during the Fall semester and extends into Saturday morning. Teams of 5-8 runners complete 25 loops of the FGCU campus. We have bands and entertainment throughout the evening, thus making this a great social event.

Most teams bring tents and food, as they are likely to be out on the Rec Fields for 8-12 hours! With categories for runners, joggers, and walkers, this is a fun event for individuals of all fitness levels.
