RELAY TEAM & TEAM MEMBER REGISTRATION:
TEAMS: WELCOME TO THE 19th ANNUAL KEYS100®
The MILITARY TEAM competition returns! See below.
Registering your team:
The team captain creates the team, pays the full registration fee and registers as a runner. Then, additional team members may register. If a registered team member “drops” before race day, the captain may delete that member to make room for a new runner to register in their place. (See further details below.)
Minimum age: The minimum age is 16. For a runner younger than 18 to compete, a parent or guardian must be a member of the team or the team volunteer driver.
Exceptions will be considered if there are compelling circumstances, mainly appropriate and significant long-distance race experience. Contact the Race Director.
Team size & strategy:
100-mile team maximum is six (6) runners, but you may race with fewer. 50-mile team maximum is three (3), but a team of two is okay. Your decision. The team decides how many “legs” and how many miles each team member will run. These do not have to be the same and runners do not have to run in order. You will stop every few miles at approved meet-up locations only listed in “Course Details & Meet-Up Locations” to change runners. You may even change your race-day plan along the way if circumstances dictate. Race strategy is yours to decide, and part of the fun of racing KEYS100!
NUMBER OF RELAY TEAMS ALLOWED IN 2027
100-Mile Relay: Combined "Open" and "Masters" teams--100
"Military Open" teams--25
50-Mile Relay: "Open" and "Masters" combined--50 teams
Military team competition:
May 15, 2027, is also "Armed Forces Day" in the U.S. On race day, military teams* will compete in the overall 100-mile team relay race AND against each other for special bragging rights! The winning military team will receive a special award and remain fully eligible for overall relay race awards, too. [*To be eligible, at least five (5) team members must be on active duty and full-time.] When you create and register your 100-mile team, you will have the opportunity to select the military team option.
Self-sufficiency:
Relay teams are always self-sufficient. You are responsible for carrying all necessary supplies in the team vehicle, or purchasing them along the way—drinks, food and ice, equipment, and supplies that might be needed during the race. On the course there is lots of race support: staffed timing stations, medical team, Sheriff's deputies at road crossings and race marshals who monitor runner safety and rules compliance. There are stores and restaurants and portable toilets, but there are no race-sponsored aid stations offering food and drinks. Plan accordingly, and use resources available on the race website to help you prepare and organize before race weekend.
Vehicle:
Your team vehicle should be large enough to accommodate all necessary gear, allow room for luggage and space for teammates to spread out while complying with strict rules regarding vehicle size and type. Read the standard, "Vehicle size & type restrictions", very carefully and ask in advance if unsure if your vehicle qualifies. Do not discover on race morning that your vehicle is prohibited from the course because it does not comply with published limits.
Driver (optional):
Teams have the option of adding up to two (2) dedicated drivers or taking turns driving themselves. A team driver is not a runner nor member of the running team but is considered a dedicated team volunteer. ALL participants in the race must register, and that includes team drivers who will use the “Team (Only) Driver" registration process to comply. Be sure to enter the name of the team being supported when requested.
Important Safety/Awareness Measure
EVERY RUNNER, SUPPORT CREW MEMBER AND TEAM DRIVER will be given a highly visible reflective suspender-type “vest” at check-in that MUST be worn at all times, and that will clearly identify them as KEYS100 participants. These will serve as an additional reminder to the public of a race in progress.

Military teams will automatically be included in the distinct military competition as well as the general competition.

REGISTRATION FEE REFUND FUNDRAISING OPTION: BEATING CANCER IN THE KEYS!
Racing in the Florida Keys is a lot of fun, but the cause of beating cancer is as serious as it gets and is an important component of the KEYS100. In that spirit, any relay team that collects paid donations for "The Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys" in an amount equal to, or greater than, the targets listed below will have their race entry fee refunded in full.
100-mile or 50-mile relay team: At least four (4) times the scheduled registration fee—i.e., before any discounts: $4,200-$4,440 for 100-mile teams and $2,160-$2,340 for 50-mile teams.
Notify the race director of your accomplishment in order to generate the refund.
