COLORADO ONLY HAS THE SUMMER TO DO CONSTRUCTION AND YOU WILL NEED THE NOTES TO GET TO AND FROM EACH EXCHANGE RAGNAR RELAY SERIES TAKES STRIDES TO GO GREEN This year ne f ur majr pririties is t make the Ragnar Relay Series mre sustainable. We are determined t make small changes that will add up in a big way. Here are 3 ways we will imprve sustainability acrss the Ragnar Relay Series this year: Trash Liners fr Each Van: Van 1 and Van 2 will receive three clear trash liners, and ne blue trash liners at the start line and Exchange 6. There will NOT be trash at Minr Exchanges, instead, please use the trash liners and dispse f the trash prperly at designated dumpsters at the Majr Exchanges. Recycling: We will have recycling at a few majr exchanges and the finish line. Please use the blue trash liners fr recycling items and dispse recycling at recycling bins at these lcatins. Re-useable Water Bttles: We are strngly encuraging runners t use re-useable water bttles. Bring a big cler f water in yur van, and fill up yur smaller water bttles as needed. Water will be available t refill clers at majr exchanges. N paper cups will be prvided Sustainability and YOU We re all in this tgether. Just like cnquering a Ragnar Relay wuldn t be pssible withut yur team; ur missin t becme mre sustainable wn t be pssible withut yu. Here are sme ther tips fr hw t be mre sustainable during the mst unfrgettable weekend f the year! Dn t Idle: When yu are pulled ver n the side f the rad cheering fr a teammate, r waiting at an exchange area turn yur car ff. Be Cstume Cnscius: Feather bas, sparkles and streamers are all things that can accidently trash the curse. When yu are cming up with team cstumes and van decratins, make sure that nthing culd inadvertently fly ff and cause a mess. Drive the speed limit: Driving the speed limit is nt nly the safe thing t d, yu als wn t be using excess amunt f fuel. Reusable Grcery Bags: Mst Ragnarians will bring at a minimum energy bars, fruit and snacks in their van. Instead f using plastic bags t transprt yur fd frm the grcery stry t the van, use reusable grcery bags. (Remember yu ll have the liners t dispse f trash that accumulates in yur van). Carpl: By running a Ragnar Relay, yu ll autmatically be carpling as yu traverse sme f the mst beautiful areas the cuntry has t ffer. What abut carpling t the start line, finish line, pre-race party and training runs? It s mre fun t have a c-pilt anyways.

2 Leave it better than yu find it: See a GU packet r gum wrapper n the curse? Maybe smene accidently drpped trash frm their van? These things happen. Pick it up and leave it better than yu find it! (Bnus: karma pints fr yu.) Supprt Lcally Owned Businesses: Alng the Ragnar Relay curses yu ll have the chance t taste the lcal flavr. Lcal businesses and restaurants keep the mney flwing within cmmunities, create jbs, use lcal prduce, and are all arund a slid pick when stpping fr dinner, cffee r snacks. Mst f ur curses have at least ne r tw cmmunity grups wh ck up a delicius meal t raise mney fr their cause. OTHER VERY IMPORTANT ITEMS Like all runners, we ve gt drawers full f technical shirts many smell bad. This year we wanted t have a race shirt that lked amazing, felt awesme and was smething we wuld be prud t wear, n matter the cst. The shirts are a 40/60 cttn-ply blend that is sft, will hld up ver time and still has a slight technical feel. N stiff cttn fr yu. In the end, we spent mre mney n shirts than we have befre but we ended up with smething yu ll be prud t wear during and after yur run. T-shirts will distributed at the Pre-Race Party, Start and Exchange 6 nly. T-Shirts will be distributed based n the registered size.
