Ragnar Relay - Wasatch Back

This weekend is the Wasatch Back Relay, put on by Ragnar. It's a relay race starting in Logan, UT and ending in Park City, UT. There's an insane amount of runners and it's way fun. The course stays on beautiful rural roads roads for nearly all 188 miles. Here's a video to help you get a sense of what the race is like:

This will be my third year running the race. My employer, Backcountry.com, pays almost everything for 5 teams to run (12 runners per team) so that is pretty awesome. It's a fairly expensive race.

Each team is split up into two vans. One van will rest while the six runners in the other van run their legs. Then they switch. Each runner runs three legs for a total of about 13-18 miles.

Each year, one of the Backcountry teams will run with gear. It's kind of weird and crazy, but we have a blast doing it. I ran on this team in 2008. Here's a video of that team in 2009.

I'm getting very excited! My team starts tomorrow at noon.
