BLAINE, Wash. – Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class TJ Hospodar, pharmacy technician assigned to Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Bremerton, is welcomed by team runners after completing his initial leg in the 2026 Pacific Northwest Ragnar Relay, a 200-mile run from the town of Blaine on the Canadian border to Langley, Whidbey Island, which began July 10, 2026.
This annual running tradition isn’t just a test of pure physical endurance; it shows teamwork, resilience, and the enduring bonds of command community. The 12-member team made up of active-duty Sailors, civilian alumni, and friends will run a challenging midnight leg while some members also cheer from the team van - proving that the NMRTC Bremerton spirit endures long after the shift ends.
