Ragnar is only two weeks away! Two weeks. I don’t know about all of you, but I am getting pretty excited. I can’t wait to see all my teammates. I can’t wait to run and be sleep deprived. I want to relive it all.
But before we get to all the fun and craziness we need to pack and organize. I am sharing my list from last year that has been adapted. Items are in no particular order. Feel free to add suggestions.
- Running jacket/warmer layer
- Comfy pants
- 3 pairs of shorts (maybe capris depending on the forecast)
- 3 shirts
- 4 pairs of socks
- Toothbrush/toothpaste
- Running shoes (2)
- Comfortable shoes/sandals
- Medication (if needed. I always pack ibuprofen).
- GPS
- Camera
- Outlet expander (very helpful if you have one. Everyone has things that need to charge).
- Sunscreen
- Sleeping bag(s)/blanket
- Pillow
- Cooler (really only 1 per van)
- Gatorade (or drink of choice)
- Snacks (Bring what you like, share)
- plastic bags
- sharpie
- head lamp (Required)
- flashlights (Nice to have)
- moleskin
- safety pins
- cash
- body glide
- beach towel
- reflective vest(s) (Required)
- Garmin & cords
- gallon size zip lock bags
Be smart when packing. There is a limited amount of room in the in vans and inevitably every team will have at least one serial over-packer. I put each running outfit in a zip lock bag. That makes it easy to find and when you are done running makes it so the van doesn’t stink up.
Start thinking about it. With two weeks to go there are no forecasts out there, but based on recent weather I am guessing a lot warmer than last year.
I agree with the whole list, but I’d also add a hat or visor to put on, and sunglasses that you could potentially run in – if it’s sunny and hot you’ll definitely want to shade your eyes!
Definitely. I almost always run with a hat. Can’t believe I forgot that. Thanks.
Thanks for the list!! I cannot wait to have yet another amazing running adventure with you!
I promise it will be as awesome as it seems. I will make no promises about any sleep.
Gum! I literally cannot run without gum
I’d add TP and baby wipes. You never know when you’ll need them.
Both are good. We had baby wipes last year. Thanks for adding.
[...] no really, you actually have to pack this week, or at least before Friday morning. Here is my list [...]
