DES MOINES, Iowa – With indoor track and field underway across the country, the Drake Relays presented by Xtream powered by Mediacom announced the format for the 2022 event. After an event cancellation in 2020 and a significantly altered schedule in 2021, the 112th edition of the Drake Relays will return to the conventional and long-established format with competitors from university, college, high school and elite ranks all participating in an integrated schedule over four days in Drake Stadium.
The 2022 event will begin on Wednesday, April 27 with the men's decathlon and women's heptathlon, which will mark the first time in three years that either of these events will be contested.
