Race Information
Escape the daily grind and head to the beautiful Michigan countryside of Hanson Hills Recreation Area, just one hour from Traverse City.
Your team will take turns running over two days and one night, relay-style, on three smooth, single-track trails perfect for any runner experience level. You’ll run on lush forested pine and maple paths, over rolling hills with scenic bluff overviews. At night, let a billion stars overhead (and your headlamp, of course) light your way along the trails.
When you’re not running, you’ll be partying with your team and other runners at Ragnar Village. Think campfire stories, s’mores, music and even time to roll out those sore legs.
Round up a team of your most adventurous friends for a nature-fueled challenge that will give you memories to last a lifetime.
