Race Information
Escape the daily grind and head toward adventure at Ragnar Trail Appalachians - WV. Teams come together for an overnight running relay with trails fit for any level of runner at Big Bear Lake, a truly magical location that will have you asking “Did we travel back in time?”
Teams will take turns running on 3 sweet tree lined trails full of dense Appalachian forest, rolling hills with serious elevation, and giant ferns reminiscent of Jurassic Park, minus the dinosaurs...we think.
When you’re not running, you’ll be partying with your team and other runners at Ragnar Village - think campfire stories, s’mores, live music, round the clock food vendors (no joke) and even time to roll out those sore legs. The race starts Friday, but you can start the party started early Thursday to make this 3 who days of friends and festivities.
Round up a team of your most adventurous friends for a nature fueled challenge you could never do alone.
