Race Information
Escape the daily grind and head toward adventure at Ragnar Trail Appalachians. Teams of 8 come together for an overnight relay at Big Bear Lake, a truly magical location that will have you asking “Did we just travel back in time?” Get this running party started early on Thursday to make this a whole 3-day weekend of friends and festivities.
Your run starts Friday where your teammates 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...you think.
When you’re not running, you’ll be partying with your team and other runners at Ragnar Village - enjoy campfire stories, s’mores, live music, round the clock food vendors (no joke), and even time to roll out those sore legs. Don’t miss the running challenge that will give your whole team a lifetime of memories.
