FAYETTEVILLE -- It's relays weekend in the United States.
The Penn Relays, which started in 1895, are being held in Philadelphia. The Drake Relays, which started in 1910, are being held in Des Moines, Iowa.
Another major relays meet will make its debut this weekend at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.
The Arkansas men's and women's track and field teams will host the inaugural National Relays Championship on Friday and Saturday at John McDonnell Field.
"It's something a little bit different, but an idea we've had for a couple years now and it's coming to fruition," Arkansas men's Coach Chris Bucknam said.
