The Ragnar Relay is a 200 mile relay race across New York State.
Thruway Market parking lot has been designated as Exchange #9, with as many as 2500 people coming through over a twelve hour period. Tents will be set up, local information, refreshments and medical treatment will be available. There is a community challenge wherein the community that is voted “favorite” gets a grant towards kids activities. I would love to see Walden Parks & Recreation be the beneficiary of this grant!
Peak times runners will be coming down the upper bridge & entering the lot will be between 1pm and 9pm on Friday May 13th. Residents and businesses or organizations are encouraged to come down the Thruway and witness this very unusual event & cheer on the runners!
