Ragnar Relay

The 195-mile Ragnar Relay is a 12-person, 24-hour endurance adventure that runs along the Trail of Tears on November 5 and 6--starting in Chattanooga, along the Tennessee River, through, historic Lynchburg, into Franklin, and finally ending at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. Each runner takes three legs while his or her teammates rest, eat, sleep (or try to), and shuttle back and forth between relay stations all through the night.

The Chalmers Foundation, Franklin Classical School, and New College Franklin are currently putting together a team with the aim of not only completing the course but also raising support for a scholarship fund for worthy students with financial needs.
