For those of you unfamiliar with RAGNAR it’s a 200 mile relay race with teams of 12 (usually) running around the clock. It’s the best time you’ll have not sleeping and in a stinky van, all for a cool medal and a beer.
With June right around the corner it’s time to mobilize the DC RAGNAR Team. We can get the early bird price through July 16th, but they are already 70% full, so I’d like to have commitments and money by the end of June at the latest. The time to commit is now. Below you will find the details.
Here are the Ragnar DC basics:
- When: Friday, Sept 12- Saturday, Sept 13 (start time will be based on average speed of team – last year we start ~6am)
- Where: starts in Cumberland, Md and finishes at the National Harbor
- Race Registration: 12 person team: $115 per runner. 6 person team (to join another 6 person team): $143 per runner
- Other costs: ~$150 (van rentals, gas, some minimal gear, custom shirts, food/water, hotel)
- website here: http://ragnarrelay.com/race/dc
Based on interest we can run as a 12 person team in two vans and run 1 exchange per leg OR we can run as a 6 person team in 1 van and then get linked with another 6 person team so we’re still only doing 1 exchange per leg. I should note that the 6 pack option is a bit more expensive. I can’t express enough just how awesome Ragnar was. The timing of SoCal didn’t work out for me this past spring and Florida Keys this winter sold out in under 24 hours. DC is in my back yard and I HAVE to run it again. It’s an experience like none other. I know the costs may seem steep, but the reward of this race is unreal. Please feel free to any me any questions. I’m prepared to serve as captain and lead this team starting right now. Once we get the team lined up, we’ll assign legs, but my priority is finalizing the team. If you are COMMITTING – I want you to message me with your email address and tell me you are committing and you will need to be prepared to send me a check for registration since I have to register the whole team together. I know a few of you have inquired about friends/siblings joining the team. I’m happy anyone! I hope to hear from you soon.
