As of today, 30 teams had registered for the Saturday event, with Registration now closed.
That means that all that is left was for participants to do is to pick up their race packages tonight from the Judo room at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre.
From there it's get a good nights rest, fuel up in the morning and hit the pace early Saturday.
The Skeena River Relay wraps up with a social event Saturday evening at the Hidden Acres Farm and Treehouse Resort on River Drive in Terrace.
