With our tenth anniversary, we wanted to allow more people to experience what makes Ragnar such a unique team event, and expanding to a double day relay will allow us to do so without overcrowding the course.” Registration is now available online at www.ragnarrelay.com/race/wasatchback/registration and filling quickly.
