Sunday was Day Two of the Relay Weekend, of which Day One saw a lot (link). The early morning hours are the least active, with many people heading to bed. But others were staying up.
At RFL Cure, T1 Radio would play the music for the track, staffed throughout the night by various DJs,
And people continued to down the track. Someone was zipping by leaving a rainbow streak so fast it took hours to get a good shot.
As the morning went on, more avatars of all kinds went down the track.
Going too fast sometimes resulted in taking a bath.
Someone lit a fire at one sim crossing. Fortunately, it was harmless.
And there were more camps to see.
Kitsunes for A Cure had a fascinating HUD-based game, with a prize for those who found all ten scrolls.
Eventually, it came time for the closing ceremony at 10AM
The closing ceremony would also be recorded (click here to watch).
The Committee thanked those for participating, gave out some awards, and read a moving statement from someone who'd just found out his cancer had relapsed.
The Sunbeamers would have their balloon at the event.
It was then time for the Victory Lap, to celebrate bringing cancer one more step to being conquered.
It was a great end to another great Relay Weekend, with afterparties lasting for hours. But this wasn't truly the end. Smaller parties would go on to Monday and probably today and tomorrow. The campsites remind up for people to look over and try out activities. And there's the "Sink the Sims" Party, aka the Flood Party, on Wednesday at 4PM SL time. The day after that, the teams are then asked to clean up.
For most teams, the Relay Weekend marks the end of activities, though there are a few others. But later this month is the last notable team event, ACTS Royal Ascot. Later this summer is the official end of the season. But there will be other fundraisers this year such as Making Strides and the Christmas Expo. And of course February 2026 when the next official Relay season starts.
Go Relay!
