Ragnar Relay? What is this? Well. a Ragnar Relay arrived in Hastings, or should I say, many relay teams arrived in Hastings today, and left again for Bexhill! So, what is this about? Well, the event started as an overnight 24+ hour 188 miles relay race (each race 200 miles, give or take) across the mountains of Utah, USA, in 2004, and mostly these races are held in the USA (see website). However, this year, although many of the teams do come from the USA, there has been a Maidstone - Dover - Brighton event, which was also in aid of cancer research (website).

Much of the running is done in the dark, thankfully for the runners in this race, in Kent, before coming to the beauty of the Sussex coast 😉 and the following leg was from Hastings to Bexhill, a relatively easy leg! I trust the runners could appreciate this part of the race and the gentle seafront promenade during their 200 miles...
Nice one, well done the competitors and their support!
