Todd Ragsdale running at the Pine 2 Palm 100

Todd, seen here at Pine to Palm, was always working up bigger and better challenges. “Alright, I exceeded my expectations at the P2P 100. Now what? That is the question rattling around in my brain. If I can get a special use permit from Medford Parks & Rec., I’m thinking about attempting a 200 miler on the loop road on Roxy Anne (2.64 miles with about 220 feet of gain per loop. That’s 76 loops and about 16,000 feet of gain) starting Oct. 21st at 6pm and finishing sometime on Sunday the 23rd. Anybody want to join me? It will be awesome!”
