Want to have a great time running with 11 other people in two vans over 24-30 hours through central Tennessee? Want to run at noon, 10:00pm and 5:00am? Want to feel like the only runner on a lonely rural road in the middle of the night? How about sleep on a basketball court floor at 3:30 in the morning with 100+ other people? Does being in a 12 passenger van with 5 other stinky runners sound like a good time to you? If you said "Yes" to any or all of these questions, then run the Tennessee Ragnar relay race! It's 200 miles of all of this and more!
How about this one - Would you like to challenge yourself as a runner, make some great memories and new friends while seeing some pretty country? Because, when the smells fade from your nose, the tiredness is gone from your body, your belly is full of something not prepared in a school cafeteria or squeezed out of a gel pack, you're clean and stretched out on your sofa, this is what you'll remember.
Running Ragnar this year with 6 people I knew and 5 that I didn't was a great experience and, yes, I'd sign up for another relay with those same 11 people. We all got along, no assholes in the group and we all pulled together to support and cheer for each other. The best part about it is, that I've made some friends that I hope to see again soon.
I really recommend running this relay race. You will have a good time doing it and you'll have some great memories.
