This was one of the best experiences I've had. What a fun thing to do.

Difficult, hard, yes! But it was amazing.

Aww this seemed like a lot of fun. I'd really like to do this sometime. Seems like everyone had a blast.

I ran in the relay this year. It was the craziest thing-but alot of fun and so gratifying to finish!

Ragnar was quite the experience. I accidentally left behind 15 miles from the finish line on a one way. Thanks to the provo team that let me hitchhike the rest of the way!!

Ragnar was awesome! It was my first year for this and for running in general. Crazy? Yes I am. Everyone was very nice and encouraging. It's nice to see a real story about this. It's a challenge. Congrats to all who participated. See you next year!

This was a once in a lifetime opportunity! Stomach problems, yes, but worth the experience. Your van teammates is what makes the race so fun!
