RAGNAR RELAY
Getting involved in the first Ragnar Relay in the UK was an exciting prospect. This race series is massive in the US, with over 40 events. But what’s it all about? I wondered.
Becoming a Ragnarian is running kudos. Ragnar, a US company, create overnight, long-distance team running relays, usually in stunning locations and definitely involving little sleep (and a lot of team work). We had approximately 24 hours to run 176-ish miles, from Maidstone to Brighton.
Soon the true beauty of this race unfolded, as it’s only what you want it to be: a hard push to the very end, or a bimble across stunning vistas. Inevitable perhaps, but as a running magazine team, we couldn’t stop our competitive natures. Saying that, without each member of the team finishing their three legs, we would fail. We may have only been tackling the trails, but we did this with a best-of-British Blitz spirit.
