After much debate, it appears that the powers that be at Ragnar have decided to allow international races to count towards connector medals in general and the Immortal Medal specifically!
Therefore, I have added the Niagara race to my schedule — I get to run back in Canada and it is relatively close to Massachusetts. Plus, running along the lake and finishing right at Niagara Falls sounds like something I can’t pass up.
As a result of adding Niagara, I have dropped Great Midwest from my plan. Doing that race would mean running three weekends in May. That might be a little much.
Also, I have officially decided to make Napa Valley my final race (keeping Tennessee as a back-up race in case anything falls through with any other race).
Otherwise, planning and registering teams continues…. The logistics of this whole endeavor might be the hardest part.
