On April 3-4, 2020, 12 runners from all walks of life and fitness levels are coming together for one reason…The 100 Mile Club!

12 runners, 200ish miles. One cause.

Kicking things off in Huntington Beach, this dedicated and talented team will Run, Walk, Drive, Sleep (maybe), and Repeat under the California sunshine, beneath the stars at night, and over epic coastlines.

Some of us are super-fast and some are not-so-fast, but we’re a team and we will finish STRONG! What could be better?? We know! Helping 100 Mile Club Kids and leading by example, THAT’S what!

This campaign has a huge goal of helping 600 children participate in the full 100 Mile Club Program in 2020. It costs just $10/year to help one child participate in this incredible and award-winning program.

Can you help? Sponsor one child or many…it’s up to you. Then, share this all over the place so we can reach and exceed our goal.

Your donation will earn your name on our van windows and you will be with us every step of the way!!

600 kids x $10 = $6,000 LET’S DO THIS!

SPONSOR A KID (or 5) TODAY.

Kara Lubin is the Founder of 100 Mile Club. She loves long-distance events (she completed her first 4-day event in 2018), but needs lots and lots of time to finish! This is Kara’s 5th Ragnar, and fourth as captain for Team 100 Mile Club. She is grateful for her fast, fundraising friends!

We didn’t!. 😎 Adam enjoys snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, and spending time outdoors and he build or fix anything…and we mean anything! No fixing needed at Ragnar, Adam. Just snacks, miles, sMILES, and fun! 🛠


Crew and Support: The real heroes

It takes a team within a team and teamWORK to make this dream work. We absolutely cannot finish this race without the following people:

Glen Gonsalves, Van Captain #2 is up for the challenge again in 2020. We are not sure he has a choice, perhaps his wife made him do it. Glen is cool as a cucumber and keeps us all on track. One of these days, he’s gonna’ have a spot on the team! But wait! Then, who will drive??
