Carol, Joe and Leon drove down to Temecula and joined Steve and the Temecula Trotters in the Jester Marathon Relay. The Ridge Runners were well represented. Joe and Carol won the event with a 2.57 marathon (Joe 20/Carol 6). Leon, Steve and Dan took 2nd with a 3.11 (Leon 12/Steve 10/Dan 4).
The hosts, Eric and Noni (ultra running legends) were great. The format was really fun. It consisted of a 2 mile loop. The only rule is that a team member must run at least 2 laps (4 miles total). The rest is up to you. The 26 miles can then be broken up however a team wants (as you can see from our two examples). It was low key and non-competitive, but a ton of fun.
We will try to do one of these locally so the Ridge Runners can experience this fun format.
That sounds like the best way to do a marathon! Congrats!!
