The So Cal Ragnar, a 200-mile relay from Huntington Beach to San Diego, took place this past weekend April 10-11. I heard the name "Ragnar" dropped by runners in the Chino Hills race a couple of weeks ago. It hadn't dawned on me to explore the possibility of a future Ragnar for myself.
In October, I thought I had this thing all figured out, planning to run half marathons in all 50 states plus DC. First, my plans to run all road courses were mucked up when I ran my first trail race ever, and loved it. Now, it's the team relay concept that's making me think twice about other planned events.
Some co-workers ran in this year's So Cal event. Others are already considering forming a team for next year's, and asking me if I'd be interested. Waiting a year for the next So Cal one is one option. There are plenty of other Ragnars to choose from, including trail relays.
Combining individual efforts to complete a long course does have an appeal. Running overnight would be a fun challenge, interesting to run with a headlamp.
Didn't know there were so many headlamps to choose from. More research needed before outfitting for a Ragnar.
