Kaysville, Utah ( October 29, 2013) – Ragnar Relay Series, the nation?s largest overnight team endurance event series that features 21 races across the United States and Canada, today announced a new partnership with KT Tape, a global leader in kinesiology tape for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. The partnership will include KT Tape taping stations on the race course at 5 select events, product samples in the team race bags, Limited Edition Ragnar branded KT Tape Pro in the merchandize tent and at RagnarRelay.com, special offers in the virtual race bag, and ongoing presence throughout RagnarRelay.com. "We couldn't be happier to welcome KT Tape to the Ragnar family. It's great to partner with an organization that produces products that benefit our runners and makes life more awesome," said Mike Hogan, Vice President of Partnerships, Ragnar Relay Series. "By the nature of our long-distance running relays, our athletes get sore and need some kind of support. KT Tape will be the perfect solution to this problem, providing runners with muscle support and pain relief to overcome the challenges of a Ragnar. And it comes with reflective printing to help keep our runners safe in the dark." "With Ragnar Relay races covering approximately 200 miles and lasting more than 24 hours, treating and preventing injuries is essential to a successful race," said Jim Jenson, Chief Marketing Officer, KT Tape. "We are confident that the athletes will see a tremendous benefit using KT Tape in their training and races."
