Skagit, Deception, Fidalgo, Whidbey. Unusual names, killer places to run. This adventure-fest will push you and 11 pals through 187 miles of stunning Washington scenery. Starting in the seaside town of Blaine, your team will head south through farm country and along the coast, ultimately crossing over Deception Pass onto Whidbey Island. The race (and your stamina) wraps up on the southern tip of Whidbey in the charming town of Langley.


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 Northwest Passage 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.


In addition to flawless logistics and a beautiful course you will receive:
  • Live music along the course!
    		•
  • Tech tee's for all participants
    		•
  • Medals for all course finishers!

    Thank you for registering for the 2010 So Cal Ragnar Relay. Stay tuned for future emails as the race map is subject to change.

    We are currently in the process of petitioning for permits from the City of Malibu which might impact exchanges 12-18. Any questions should be addressed to the race director, Steven Aderholt.

    We are confident that this year's race will be a huge success. Preparing for and permitting a slightly adjusted, more scenic and safe route with flawless logistics and an outstanding finish line is our goal, and we are well on our way! The race route should be finalized AT LEAST 60 days prior to race day.

    See you on the course
