Ragnar Relay So Cal

Ragnar Relay So Cal starts in Huntington Beach, California, on April 9, 2027, and covers roughly 200 miles (321.9 km) as a team relay. Rather than one runner covering the full distance, a team splits the route into successive legs and runs day and night until the finish, which makes it as much a logistics exercise as a running one.

Preparation for a relay is unlike training for a single race: each runner covers several shorter legs with only a few hours of rest between them, so the useful sessions are doubles, running twice in a day, and a few runs at odd hours to get used to racing on tired legs and little sleep. Sort out your rotation, van plan, food, and reflective gear well in advance. Individually, a base of regular running plus some faster work over 3 to 8 miles will cover most leg assignments.
