It’s no secret that the Pacific Northwest loves it’s footrace marathons. And with all of our naturally beautiful panoramic views around here, who can blame us for wanting to interact with our surroundings? Marathon season is upon us again and Ragnar is quickly becoming one of the largest and most popular races in the nation. Every year hundreds of teams turn out to take part in this incredible 200 mile long relay race known as Ragnar’s Northwest Passage. This year Bellingham Dental Group is proud to sponsor team Mom Squad on their Ragnar relay race adventure. The race takes place this weekend from Blaine to Langley on July 15 – 16.

What is Ragnar?

Where the forest meets the sea, Ragnar Relay Northwest Passage will excite your senses and leave you breathless. Beginning near the Canadian border in Blaine, WA., participants of all skill levels run relay-style from point-to-point while experiencing the iconic sights of the Pacific Northwest including the glacial Cascade and Olympic Mountain ranges, Deception Pass and the Puget Sound. Teams are made up of 6-12 individuals; each individual runs 3 legs of the race which vary in difficulty and distance, from 3-8 miles, allowing elite and novice runners to run together. Each team runs this 200-mile relay over two days and one night racing to the finish line on Whidbey Island.

Ragnar is often called a slumber party without sleep, pillows or deodorant. This unique relay turns out crazy costumes, inside jokes, close quarters and unforgettable stories. Each Ragnar brings thousands of people together to create deeper connections and celebrate together as they conquer a challenge they couldn’t accomplish alone. Life’s a journey – run it with friends!
