This is a super fun race. Teams of 8 (or 4 if you want to run double) run a total of 128 miles overnight. You get to run the cross country ski trails, so they are technical and challenging, but very beautiful. Each team sets up camp at Ragnar Village and many camps have themes. There’s always something going on – music, entertainment, food, and plenty of people watching 🙂
Our team has gone two years in a row and we’re already making plans for next year.
It’s not a cheap race – $1,500/team. I feel like it’s kind of expensive considering they don’t have aid stations on the course, and they use volunteers for a lot of the work. Swag consists of t-shirt, a really cool medal that functions as a camping tool (don’t try to carry it on an airplane), and a few granola bars and stickers, and a pasta dinner. They provide water (although they ran out both years – very dangerous!!!) and porta potties (fortunately they clean them like clockwork). Everything else is self-sufficient.
The energy is high, the people are super friendly, and the run is scenic. I highly recommend it!
