Ragnar

Ragnar came to TN!! A year and half ago our family ran in the Wasatch Back in Utah from Logan, UT to Park City, UT. This year we decided to run the race Ragnar put together in TN from Chattanooga to Nashville - 195 miles of complete bliss. We started at 7:30 am and finished 30 and half hours later. Our team included: Jeff Bauserman, Steve Stubben, Martha Oyston (our driver) ,Bill Oyston, Trace Bratton, Trish Dunn, Christopher Dunn, Jamie Dunn, Danny Dunn, Jackie Dunn, Elizabeth Dunn, Caroline Dunn, Tracy Paul. My three legs added up to approximately 16.5 miles. I survived my first two legs, the third leg was a bit more difficult. Everyone had a great time even with the rain, snow, and sleet that three of our runners got to run through. Also, our night runners got to run in 23F weather. The fall colors were beautiful and we got to see lots of great Tennessee back hills.
