Below is the information for the 2026 Elementary and Middle School events:
Entries for the elementary and middle school events are currently closed. DMR Relay teams will be announced after all 2026 verified meet times are evaluated. Verified meet results should be submitted no later than April 15th, 2026.
Please note that payment is only due for elementary teams and the 4x100 event upon submission of your entry form. DMR payment will not be due until after teams have confirmed their qualification.
The following middle school teams have been selected to run the DMR based on qualifying time:
Girls:
Boys:
Note to Elementary teams:
The Elementary Shuttle will take place on Thursday night with the Distance Carnival! The tentative plan is that the shuttle will take place at 5:22 PM. The timeline will be very similar to past years and will be explained in the Coaches Information. Again this year we will be accepting both boys and girls teams from the same school, OR one co-ed team from that school. You may not enter all three team divisions. The Elementary Shuttle will accept 25 co-ed teams, 25 girls teams, and 25 boys teams.
Note to Middle School boys and girls teams:
The middle school event will be a 4x100 meter relay on the Jim Duncan track on Friday night, April 24, 2026. The tentative time for the middle school races is 5:52 PM. The first 40 girls and 40 boys teams who enter will be allowed to compete. Complete your entry form as soon as possible, as these events fill quickly.
On the schedule for the 116th Drake Relays is the Middle School 1600m (200-200-400-800) Medley Relay. Tentatively, this will be the first event of the evening session on Friday, April 24th, at 5:00 PM. Eight girls teams and eight boys teams will be selected to run based on verified meet times. Once you have turned in the Intent to Enter form by March 6th, the deadline for time submissions is April 15th, 2025, at 10:00 PM. You can submit verified meet times to meetmgmt@drake.edu, and payment for the DMR can be sent after teams have confirmed their qualification.
Once the '2026 Intent to Enter' form and check have been received, coaches will be emailed the '2026 Entry Form', which they may mail, email, or fax back to the Drake Relays Office when runners' names are confirmed. These are the names that will be printed in the Drake Relays program.
Questions can be directed to meetmgmt@drake.edu.
