The annual Relay for Life goes from 9 a.m. Saturday, April 13, and lasts until a 9 a.m. Sunday morning Closing Ceremony at the Yucca Valley High School Track.

Team members should bring costumes and supplies from home for the themed laps, some of which are: cowboy/western; Hawaiian/beach wear; best use of duct tape; cartoon character; gymnastic ribbon; Backwards walk; Super Hero; Dance; Relay Queen (Okay men, bring your feminine side—gowns, heels, pantyhose, and make-up); pajama; wig; 3-legged race; toga; sports team; bed head; crazy hat; chicken dance; and holiday. The last themed lap of the relay will be the Fight Back lap.
