MyoMed Ragnar Relay Series Names NordicTrack as 2008 Presenting Sponsor

The MyoMed Ragnar Relay Series (www.ragnarrelay.com), the nation's largest series of overnight relay races, is proud to name NordicTrack as its 2008 presenting sponsor.

The MyoMed Ragnar Relay Series includes relays in Utah, Arizona, Washington and Minnesota. Each MyoMed Ragnar Relay is an unforgettable relay adventure in which 12 teammates each run 3 legs ranging between 3 to 8 miles and varying in difficulty. Teams run a total of 200 miles over 24 continuous hours. That's right; teams run straight through the night. In fact, each teammate runs 1 leg at night with a flashlight or headlamp and reflective vest. Each Ragnar Relay is a mighty challenge, but don't let that fool you. With participants decorating their vans, painting their faces and dressing up in costumes a MyoMed Ragnar Relay is more akin to Mardi Gras than a marathon.

The MyoMed Ragnar Relay Series has experienced explosive growth and has established itself as the leader of the overnight relay race industry. This growth is largely attributable to the premiere quality of each MyoMed Ragnar Relay. NordicTrack's continued support will enable the MyoMed Ragnar Relay Series to continue to provide the premiere series of overnight team relay races in the nation.
