Last year we grew from 50 teams to 85 - this year we hope to have over 100 teams. We are hoping to anticipate some of the things that will change so we can address them in advance (e.g., more porta potties and hand wash stations). This will be our third year as co-chairs, so we have some ideas, but we'd love to hear from other Relays about things that they have learned about expanding. Thanks!

Day Of Relay Checklist - Things Needed
Relay growth is important to manage, as you have pointed out... One thing that might help is a checklist of things needed for the day of the event:

And here is one to give to your teams:

Hope this helps...

WOW
All I can say to you is WOW and great job!
We grew to 25 teams in our little town and raised $126,000 and our big issue was obviously spacing.
Some of our teams have elaborate 2 story set-up and the area we have is the enclosed track at our regional high school. Our biggest concern was growing our committees. Many hands make light work. This year we have recruited people for "2 hours at a time" instead of 2 days! We found that folks are willing to help that way.
One other concern for your large group would be medical care. With that large a number adequate supply of "band-aids" hopefully will be your biggest need...
And so the season begins.
Best to all
Keep up the good fight
