RAGNAR June 18th-19th





RAGNAR is a relay race that is run in teams of 12. Each team has 2 vans, 2 drivers, 3 volunteers, and 12 runners. There are about a dozen RAGNAR races across America. This RAGNAR Realy Race is called Wasatch Back. It starts in Logan and goes to Park City after going down to Heber City. It is roughly 188 miles. Dan's Aunt Myndee put together a team to run this year, the team name was: Come What May and Love It! Their team number was 911.

Each team had to have three volunteers so Sarah (Sister-In-Law), Stacey (Alex's girlfriend) and I took a volunteering shift from 2AM to 7AM Friday morning. Our job was to sign in teams from the number 400-600. It was pretty fun and not too hard to do, even though it was pretty cold! There were over 1,000 teams registered for the event. We also got cool volunteer shirts.








Van 1 had a sister-in-law to Myndee, some of Myndee's nieces and a mother and son that Alex knows through rock climbing.

Van 2 in the order of runners was: Melissa (Myndee's friend), Myndee (Dan's Aunt), Mitch (Sarah's Fiance), Justin (Dan's Cousin), Alex (Dan's Cousin), and Dan. Dan's Uncle Randy drove Van 2.
