Welcome to Ragnar Relay Lake Tahoe Friday and Saturday August 14-15, 2015 Royal Gorge Cross Country Nevada Ski Resort
SURVEY RESULTS
What is RAGNAR and what am I getting myself into? Ragnar is an overnight running relay race and camping adventure that makes testing your limits a team sport. NEED MORE ? Well of course you do!
7 of your crazier friends + you = 8 Each runner will run 3 different loops = Green, Yellow, and Red Green Loop = 3.1 miles Yellow Loop – 6.9 miles Red Loop = 5.5 miles For a total of 15.5 run miles Each team will collectively do 120+ miles in a 24+ hour timespan
Still have more questions….No problem! In 2013, 106 teams registered for Ragnar Lake Tahoe. That’s 850+ runners in one village! Can you say “Tent City”?!
Not a fast runner ? Don’t sweat it…. Each team needs to have an average pace of 11 minutes per mile (pace can range anywhere from a 9 minute pace per mile to approximately 12:30 minute pace per mile). Runnin for Rhett would like to match runners up who share the same pace per mile so that you can run the trails together. What does this mean exactly? It means you can run with your friends! Each runner with the same pace will be placed on different teams but assigned the same runner number. Example: Beth, Karin, Randy, and Paul will be Runner # 2 but each of them are on different teams. When Runner # 2 begins their loop, they will all start off together. When they are done they will tag Runner # 3s to begin their loop, and so on…..
Why would you want to do Ragnar? I can think of a few great reasons! outdoor beauty bonding experience Campfires, friends, and s’mores ! Big Bling – Hello people! Lake Van Norden
