Race Information
Ragnar Trail So Cal gets runners and the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla & Cupeno Indians to come together for the best running party under the stars at the Los Coyotes Reservation, in the mountains outside of San Diego.
Your team of 8 will set out to conquer a series of three winding double-track trails, relay-style, that start and finish at Ragnar Village. You’ll run through an alpine wonderland of junipers, pines and oaks, and experience views of the Anza-Borrego Desert to the east with layers of beautiful mountain ranges to the west.
With its tough mountain hills and all of the elements and elevation that come with it, this overnight trail-running relay isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s one of Ragnar’s most challenging trail races.
Back home at Ragnar Village, you can rest your legs next to the campfire, chow down on s’mores and relax with your team. Take a break from city life to find yourself in this journey of adventure, self-discovery, and sheer nature-loving goodness.
