Register your team
Know the route. Be the route. Manage your team

Finding 11 other teammates is not as hard as you may think. You probably know 3 or 4 runners and they probably know 3 or 4 more. Teams made up this way (with friends of friends) are often the most fun. By the end of the race you'll have 11 great friends!

Here are a few tips that will make finding a team simple and stress-free:

    Tip #1: Find a Co-Captain
    Find a good leader who is excited about the event. Put this person in charge of filling one of the vans. Now both of you just need to find 5 runners instead of 11.

    Tip #2: Commit Your Teammates
    Do not guarantee any teammate (even your spouse) a spot on your team until you have received their entry fee. Teammates who have not paid don't feel committed to train and, more often that not, they back out.

    Tip #3: Don't Wait to Register
    If you have not found an entire team and the registration deadline is approaching don't worry. You can register your team now and add team members later. A good rule of thumb is to have 6-8 teammates before you register your team.

    Tip #4: Use the Ragnar Relay Message Board
    If you can't fill your team or a teammate drops out don't panic. The Ragnar Relay TeamFinder is designed to match teams with runners. Concerned about having a stranger join your team? Don't be, by the time you reach the finish line that stranger will be your best friends.

Looking to join an existing team? The Ragnar Relay TeamFinder is designed to match runners like you with teams. Concerned about being the only stranger on the team? Don't be, by the time you reach the finish line your teammates will be your best friends.

 

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
