Arizona Fraternities & Sororities, you are invited to start of your semester by participating in one of the most wild and exciting running events in the nation: the Ragnar Relay Del Sol. Imagine this... redrock cliffs, biker bars, and you and 11 of your fraternity brothers or sorority sisters running day and night. Starting in PRESCOTT and ending in Mesa, your team of 12 maniacs will embark upon a 202-mile adventure-fest through the cactus filled desert of Arizona.
Use the promo code "GreeksForKids" and you can register your team for $1200 ($100/person).
Running three legs during a 24-hour relay race is much easier than you think. Each team member runs three legs, ranging between 3 and 8 miles. This relay race is physically demanding, but legs vary in difficulty, and participants can choose which legs they run. This unique relay format makes the Del Sol an accessible race for beginners yet challenging enough for the most competitive.
How do you get from one exchange to the next? Each team is allowed two support vehicles. The first vehicle will drop off the first runner, drive ahead a few miles, cheer the runner on, and provide them with water, snacks, and plenty of love. That vehicle will then drive ahead to the first exchange point to drop off the second runner, and pick up the first runner when that leg is complete. They will repeat this pattern for six legs until they hand off to their second vehicle. This leapfrogging pattern will continue all the way to the finish line.
