Ragnar Relay Series
The Ragnar Relay Series is a series of long distance running relay races organized and orchestrated by Ragnar Events, LLC, which is based in Salt Lake City, UT. With 16 relays in different geographic locations, the Ragnar Relay Series is the largest relay series in the United States. The first Ragnar Relay was held in 2003 and encompassed 188 miles from Logan, UT to Salt Lake City, UT. On January 23, 2013, Ragnar announced their first ever "trail relay" series, the first of which would be held in Zion National Park in April of that same year.〔http://www.utahoutside.com/2013/01/utah-to-host-first-ever-ragnar-trail-relay/〕 In 2014, Ragnar Events, LLC announced the first Ragnar to be run internationally, Ragnar Relay Niagara Ontario.〔http://www.ragnarrelay.com/race/ontario〕 The Niagara Ontario race has been officially postponed until 2016.
==Format==
Each Ragnar Relay is approximately 200 miles (320 kilometers) in distance, with races lasting two days and one night. There are two types of teams: traditional and ultra. A traditional team is composed of twelve runners while an Ultra team is composed of six runners. Each runner on a traditional team is responsible for running three legs of the race with each leg ranging between 3 and 14 miles.〔http://www.ragnarrelay.com/ragnar〕 The total distance a runner is responsible for ranges between 8 and 26 miles, making it a good fit for participants with varying skill levels. An ultra runner will run a total of six legs and can choose to run each leg separately or run two consecutive legs.
Each team is given a slap bracelet that serves as their baton throughout the race. When exchanging runners, the runner finishing a leg of the race slaps the bracelet onto the wrist of the next runner, who then continues the relay. On a traditional team, the 12 runners are divided between two vans and only one van will be active at any given time. Once all of the runners from Van #1 have completed their legs, the slap bracelet is handed to the first runner of Van #2. While Van #2 is active, Van #1 is allowed time to rest (and vice versa).
