Show JUNE 6, 2008 2008 Wasatch Back Relay Back By Popular Demand! The 2008 MyoMed Ragnar Relay Wasatch Back is sold out! Due to the popularity of the 2008 Wasatch Back, 2009 is expected to fill up in a matter of days. It will be held June 20, through the 21, and they do not stop during the night! Think of it as a 178-mile party with 12 best friends. Teams of 12 will rock out to live bands, enjoy the wacky participant costumes, and make life-long friends with teammates and competitors. Teams will party along the backside of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains from Logan to Park Subscribe To The Summit County News! 336-5501 PAGE B1 Summit County News City - ending at the area by the Park City Ice Arena on Hwy. 40. Running three legs during a 24-hour relay race is much easier than you think. Each team member runs three legs, ranging be- tween 3 and 8 miles. This relay race is physically demanding, but legs vary in difficulty, and runners can choose their legs. This unique relay format makes the Wasatch Back an accessible race for beginners yet challenging enough for the most competitive. There will be many runners going through Henefer, al along SR 32, down through Francis and back to Park City, this time ending at Quinn’s Junction where there is more open area for people to go. Make a point to watch these runners, and cheer them along their way! It is a unique race and fun to observe as well as participate in. Ramps in Place at Echo The Echo Resort staff are struggling to pull the docking ramp into place as the water level is so high. The men in the water noticed that 60-63 degrees is still rather “chilly” to be standing and working in! Spring is here, but the temperatures are teasing everyone - not too warm yet - but boating is starting to begin!
