I was wondering if anyone would be interested in running a Ragnar Relay?

What is Ragnar?

Ragnar is an overnight running relay race that makes testing your limits a team sport. You and 11 of your craziest friends (or 7 of your crazier friends for a trail race team) pile into two vans and tag team running 200(ish) (trail: 120) miles, day and night, relay-style. Only one runner hits the road at a time. Each participant runs three times, with each leg ranging between 3-8 miles and varying in difficulty. So, from the elite runner down to the novice jogger, it's the perfect race for anyone.

It really is a life-changing race. If you don't know your teammates, you'll be best friends by the end of the race.

There are lots of locations throughout the U.S., but I think Vegas would probably be the best bet because tickets are cheap to there from everywhere. It's also in November so if you're just starting out you could train in that amount of time.

Also, I'm looking for a team for Zion Trail in April. I'll need to register by Feb 27.

Found a team for Key West Ragnar. I am so excited! If you want to run in a particular Ragnar, you can go on the Facebook page for that race and there will be people posting that need runners. You can also post that you're looking for a team to run on.

My experience has been if you want to run as a "free agent" and you post that you are available, you will almost always get offers...especially if you can be a last minute addition! After I signed up to free agent McDowell mountain I took a spot on a team and forgot to take myself down and got about 10 offers in the two weeks leading up to the race. I get about one Key west offer per week, but don't think I can commit to the airfare cost right now sadly.
