Ragnar Relay Draws 362 Teams

Formerly the MC 200 from Madison to Chicago, Ragnar has taken over this popular relay that takes teams of 12 or 6 runners from downtown Madison, WI, across Wisconsin to Milwaukee and then south to Montrose Harbor on Chicago's North Side. A record 362 teams are entered, and the weather appears to look good right now with cool temps and rain holding off. I am on Fossil Velocity, the team in orange shorts that is made up of runners 50 or older exclusively. Our lineup is different every year, but we have a similar and simple mission every time: run fast and have fun. We'll try our best. That's for sure! I've got my headlamp, reflective vest and blinkie lights all packed and ready to go. Good luck to all of the other teams. We'll see you on the trail.

You have to try it sometime. It's a great event with lots of logistics as well as running!

Run safe Bob! We'll see you somewhere out on the course. We depart Madison at 930 am--go Team USole and go Team Fossil Velocity!

Thanks, Mike! Good luck out there. Say hi to the Team U-Sole gang. We shove off at noon. Hope the weather isn't too bad! Which legs are you running?
