Ragnar Trail Colorado, formerly Ragnar Trail Snowmass-CO, is back this June at Snowmass Village. This is a full-blown 3-day weekend adventure bringing together Rocky Mountain beauty, high-country camping and stunning trails that sells out year after year.
Start early with camping on Thursday night; you can even upgrade your camping experience with Ragnar Glamping. If air conditioning is more your style, enjoy world-class lodging right at Snowmass Village.
On Friday, your team of 8 friends will begin your journey of three challenging trail loops that start and finish back at Ragnar Village. When the sun sets and the moon comes out, the party keeps going as runners head to the trails in the dark for a spirit-quest, soul-searching, star-fueled night of running.
Experience true mountain running with snow-capped peak views, blooming wildflowers, ridge running, buffed-out trails, and even a little climbing (with a BIG pay-off). With its incredible views, the altitude definitely won’t be the only thing taking your breath away. Your whole team will finish together on Saturday, triumphantly, under the Ragnar arch with unforgettable memories and a bond to last a lifetime.
P.S. Want to make it an even more epic weekend? Make sure to stick around after the finish to enjoy the Snowmass Rendezvous Craft Beer Festival.
Green Loop – Highline / Lowline Trail: You’ll run under the tunnel past your cheering friends at the Team Support Area and head east to the Highline trailhead. This trail runs up to the top of a small ridgeline where you will have an amazing view of the Ragnar Village below and all of the Snowmass Canyon. After one mile of up you will welcome the nice easy rolling down and around back to Ragnar Village.
Yellow Loop – Grouse Trail: Giddyup, up, up, and up! This awesome single-track trail starts off as an innocent meander down a smooth path and then quickly climbs to over 8500’ through beautiful aspen and pine forests. As you climb, you’ll get a few flat spots to recover and take it all in before you resume your ascent. Once at the apex, be sure to look out over the valley for an incredible view of Pyramid Peak and the back-side of Maroon Bells. As you descend back towards Ragnar Village, you’ll wish you were back up the mountain again. But don’t worry. You’ll have a few more opportunities to witness the beauty that is Ragnar Trail Snowmass.
Red Loop – Rim Trail: Going up… again. A short but steep run up a paved road leads you to this amazingly beautiful trail. You’ll run along the 9000’ ridge overlooking Snowmass and Ragnar Village to the perfect combination of epic views, gorgeous wildflowers, deep dark forests and a long meandering descent. On the way down, you’ll meet up with your friends from the Rodeo Trail for a run into the Village together. This is Ragnar Trail at its’ finest.
