Hi Al,
I apologize for not responding to one of the questions. We will be running from Le Grange
into Wappinger via Spackenkill Rd (NY 113).
Here are the runner directions; I don't know when we are exactly crossing into Wappinger's
borders:
Continue on Spackenkill Rd (NY -113).
0.9 Turn left on Westview Terrace
1.0 Continue left on Westview Terrace
1.3 Turn right on Cochran Hid
1.7 Turn right on Daley Rd
2.8 Continue left on Maloney Rd
2.9 Turn right on Smith Crosse Rd 0.'_
4.1 Turn right on Diddle Rd`T
4.2 Turn right on NY -376
5.0 Turn left on Degarmo Hills Rd
6.0 Turn right on Myers Corners Rd (CR -93)
6.8 Exchange will be on right side of road
The Exchange is: Orchard View Alternative High School
167 Myers Corners Road
From there, runners continue on Myers Corner Hill Rd, turn left
(south) on Fenmore Dr, continue on Cady Ln, left on Kent Rd and right on All Angels (which
I believe is Fishkill)
I will submit the town's info to our insurance carrier today. It takes up to 5 days to
receive the COI. I will email it to you as soon as I have it. Unless you prefer fax.
Please let me know.
Thank you so much for your attention and help!
Regards,
Meghan

WHAT IS RAGNAR? I PRESS= I RAGNAR GEAR I MY RAGNAR.
You and 11 of your closest friends running 200(ish) miles, day and night, relay -style, through
some of the most scenic terrain North America could muster. Add in crazy runners, inside jokes
and a mild case of sleep deprivation. The result? Some call it a slumber party without sleep,
pillows or deodorant. We call it a Ragnar Relay.
It's really quite simple. Get a bunch of friends together (or we can help you find team
members who'll quickly become your friends) and start running. Okay, there's a little more to
it. Your relay team will consist of 12 members (or 6 for Ultra teams). During the relay, each
team member runs three legs, each leg ranging between 3 - 8 miles and varying in difficulty.
So, from the elite runner down to the novice jogger, it's the perfect relay race for anyone.
How do you cover 200(ish) miles? Only one runner hits the road at a time. The rest of your
teammates are on support duty in your race vehicles. Teams require 2 vehicles, with runners 1
-6 in van 1 and 7 -12 in van 2. Van 1's runners will cover the first six legs. It's a relay, so as
the each runner begins, the crew in the vehicle can drive ahead, cheer their runner on, and
meet them at the exchange point to pick them up and drop off the next runner. After the first
6 legs, van 2 picks up the slack and starts putting in the miles. A day, night and day later,
you'll have made it all the way from start to finish!
Any Easy 200(ish)
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 runners can choose their legs. This unique relay
format makes the Ragnar Relay an accessible race for beginners yet challenging enough for the
most competitive runners.
