Land and Lakes Relay is a team relay race starting at Warren Wilson College in East Asheville, NC, finishing at Fonta Flora Brewery-Whippoorwhill Farm near Lake James in Nebo. The course passes Swannanoa, Black Mountain, Lake Tomahawk, Old Fort, Marion, and the Lake James area. Four- or six-person teams share legs from 2.7 to 8.7 miles, with each runner accumulating a defined total.

The event is self-supported, with safety measures such as reflective vests and headlamps in early morning legs, and transfer points staffed by volunteers. Capacity is limited to 60 teams.
