The Drake Relays are finally here! KFJB News Director Zach Tomesch sat down with Drake Relay Director Blake Bolden going over the full week of events that will kick off this morning. Along with the scheduling, Bolden discussed a bit of the history as well as some of the goals of the Relays.

This year marks the 115th time the Drake Relays have been run.

After that first event, founder John L. Griffith made quite the statement despite less than desirable conditions, and 115 years later, here we are.

The relays this year run Saturday to Saturday but will skip out on events tomorrow with it being the Easter Holiday.
