I've run multiple Ragnar races including Reach the Beach in 2019.

I highly doubt there are any inexperienced runners running any Ragnar race. As others have already pointed out, a team of 12, 2 vans will have each runner total 15-24 miles over three legs. The elite teams do it in one van with a team of 6(?).

Every runner is required to wear a headlamp, a tail light, and reflective safely vest when running in the dark. Mandatory. There's no way anyone was out without all three after dark.

I ran through downtown Laconia at 2am to get to Gilford HS in 2019.

Now this coming weekend, I'm running a Ragnar trail run at Wawayanda Lake in NJ. Running trails at night should be interesting.
