Set against the dramatic landscapes near Mount Rainier, Ragnar Trail Rainier is a team-based trail running relay that blends endurance, teamwork, and mountain adventure into one unforgettable weekend. Teams camp together at basecamp and rotate runners across scenic forest and alpine trails over the course of roughly 24 hours—day and night—creating a shared experience that’s as much about camaraderie as competition.

Teams can compete in 8-person or 4-person formats, with each runner completing multiple trail loops ranging from approximately 3 to 8 miles per leg. Total team distance typically falls between 90–120 miles, depending on course configuration. Trails feature rolling singletrack, forest roads, technical sections, and meaningful elevation gain, rewarding runners with sweeping views, cool mountain air, and classic Pacific Northwest terrain.

Between legs, runners rest, refuel, and cheer on teammates from Ragnar Village, a lively campground atmosphere complete with tents, team flags, and post-run celebration vibes. Whether you’re an experienced trail runner or a road runner looking to test yourself off pavement, Ragnar Trail Rainier offers an accessible yet challenging relay experience for teams of all abilities.
