When you’ve known someone as long as I’ve known Artie, when you see them accomplish something like this, it’s special. 2017’s Ragnar Relay, our last year in Chicago, featured some moments that were definitely special. Leading up to the race, we had an opening pop up late in our preparations. Artie, who’d helped by drivingContinue reading “RDG’s Top 10 – #2 Artie ’17”

RDG’s Top 10 – #3 The Heat ’16
In 2015, we ran and completed our first Ragnar Relay. It felt like an amazing accomplishment and rightfully so: 200 miles of running over the course of a 31 hours was, and still is amazing to me. Not knowing how good we’d be and despite varying distances over the following years, that is still ourContinue reading “RDG’s Top 10 – #3 The Heat ’16”
RDG’s Top 10 – #4 Finish Line ’18
Open Space Park in Traverse City, despite it’s cold, was the most fun finisher we’ve ever had. * Spoiler Alert * 2015, our first team’s finish meant more, but this was easily the most fun. ’18’s team was just special in a lot of ways. As close as other teams were, this team was newContinue reading “RDG’s Top 10 – #4 Finish Line ’18”
RDG’s Top 10 – #5 Pre-Race Meal in ’18 & ’19
This picture was taken from dinner this past year in Whitehall, MI. I rate these two dinners so highly because they really were the beginning of another phase for the team. We’ve had change on the team and I think that’s something which brings growth. For us though, from ’17 to ’18, the team reallyContinue reading “RDG’s Top 10 – #5 Pre-Race Meal in ’18 & ’19”
Halfway Through Our Top 10!
It’s amazing that we’re now half way through our Top 10 Moments and Memories of Runnin’ Not Walken / Runners Doing Good. It’s truly been enjoyable to look back on these memories, people, and places. If you’ve not had an opportunity to check it out, you can always visit our blog page or just hitContinue reading “Halfway Through Our Top 10!”
RDG’s Top 10 – #6 Shake N Bake ’15
These two. There’s so much about that 2015 team and the experience that I look back on and smile. I think the newness of it all was something that made it special. No one, and I mean no one had an idea of what it’d be like really. We saw Ragnar Relay as something thatContinue reading “RDG’s Top 10 – #6 Shake N Bake ’15”
RDG’s Top 10 – #7 Night Moves ’19
NeighborLink Fort Wayne‘s Night Moves series of runs is pretty awesome. Being that 2019 was our first year running to benefit them, we wanted to make sure that we were able to participate in some of the events that they were putting on and we LOVED IT. You can find a review of that raceContinue reading “RDG’s Top 10 – #7 Night Moves ’19”
RDG’s Top 10 – #8 Courtney’s Kick-Off ’15
Year 1 was so special and different aspects of that first race will always be something that be near and dear to my heart. Courtney’s beginning here is really the culmination of a lot of hard work by the team to get ready, a lot of hard work in fundraising, and a ton of nervesContinue reading “RDG’s Top 10 – #8 Courtney’s Kick-Off ’15”
RDG’s Top 10 – #9 – Brandon’s Helmet Run ’15
This still makes me laugh to this day. Brandon had brought a cowboy hat to wear during the race and a lot of people had funny hats. He even brought one of his old football helmets. We were having a blast with the race and I simply thought he’d wear it somewhere along the wayContinue reading “RDG’s Top 10 – #9 – Brandon’s Helmet Run ’15”
RDG’s Top 10 – #10 ’19’s Night Runs
None of these accurately show just how tough the night runs can be during a Ragnar. The reason this comes in at #10 isn’t because it wasn’t hard. It’s more that there were so many other moments that come in that I’d rank higher. It’s been a full 5 years of running and fundraising andContinue reading “RDG’s Top 10 – #10 ’19’s Night Runs”
