On Sept. 24 and 25, the Ragnar Relay D.C. race took place and 24 intrepid Back on My Feet volunteers, supporters and staff laced up their running shoes to cover 200 miles of trails, roads, highways and bridges all in the name of having fun and supporting Back on My Feet.
As the official charity sponsor of Ragnar Relay D.C., we are grateful to all the wonderful support from Kent, Kevin and all of the Ragnar staff and volunteers who put on an absolutely outstanding race.
Back on My Feet fielded two teams of runners and took on the course under the team names of BOMF Rocks and My Socks. After Four SUV’s covered in a ton of festive car paint made a quick trip up to Cumberland, MD we were ready to get down to racing!

Every month, each Back on My Feet chapter highlights one of its many generous sponsors and funders. See past DC Companies of the Month here and other corporate partners here. Back on My Feet is the official charity of the 2010 Ragnar Relay Washington D.C. and is excited for race day and to work with Ragnar.
“We selected Back on My Feet to be the official charity for Ragnar Relay Washington D.C. so we can do more than just have fun and run, but to also create awareness and support of this organization that is doing great things in the local community,” said Dan Hill, Co-Founder of Ragnar Relay Series. “Having the opportunity to open our community of Ragnar runners to support an organization like Back on My Feet is an amazing opportunity.”
“Back on My Feet is an organization that is doing positive things in the community as they tie in job training, employment, housing, while also still emphasizing fitness as a key aspect of a healthy lifestyle,” said Kent Phippen, Race Director. “Ragnar Relay is an unforgettable and fun experience for runners to have a great time while exercising, so this was such a natural partnership and we are looking forward to race day.”
