Running 120 miles in less than 24 hours?  Not a problem for Redland!  On a sunny June weekend, a team of 7 Redland associates met in Snowmass, Colorado to tackle the Ragnar Trail race.

The Ragnar Trail race is a long-distance relay – the Colorado race is held in Snowmass Village.  Our team set up a base camp and ran single-track trails up mountains into the Maroon Bells Wilderness.  Each Redland runner covered almost 17 miles.  Our team started running on Friday, and did not stop running until Saturday morning.

Health & wellness in the workplace is a priority at Redland; part of that culture includes sponsoring events throughout the year that encourage physical activity.

Team Redland rose to the challenge and completed the event in 21 hours, 37 minutes, and 36 seconds: earning a 5th place finish in the corporate division, and a 46th place overall finish in a field of almost 300 teams.

Team Redland did not stop there.  Immediately after crossing the finish line, our team dominated a watermelon-eating contest, where Redland associate, Mickey, walked away with a grand-prize pair of bluetooth earbuds.

Despite the sore legs/feet the following work day, our team had a great time camping and running together, and is looking forward to next year!
