The 111th Drake Relays presented by Xtream powered by Mediacom has officially been postponed to April 2021, Blake Boldon, the Franklin P. Johnson Director of the Drake Relays announced Thursday, July 23.
The 111th Drake Relays were first postponed March 18 due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. In the ensuing months, Drake Relays staff has worked tirelessly, in conjunction with local public officials and track & field governing bodies, to explore and plan for the potential of a 2020 event.
However, to preserve the safety and wellbeing of competitors, officials and fans, the difficult decision was made to postpone the event to April 21-24, 2021.
