Reebok Ragnar Relay Great River brings together the magic of running through rural and urban Minnesota, bonding with new and old friends, and the accomplishment of conquering 200 miles by foot.

Your team of 12 (or 6) will start your running adventure on the bank of the Mississippi River in Winona. From there you’ll experience every shade of green you can imagine as you run by endless rows of corn fields and through forested areas like Afton State Park. There’s no shortage of water views on this course including sunset views on Pepin Lake.

When you’re not out there running your legs, you’ll play support duty cheering on your teammates, driving to the next exchange, eating some food, maybe sleeping… and all in all having a great time and an experience you won’t forget. Oh and some pretty great bragging rights come Monday morning…

 

RUN. DRIVE. SLEEP? REPEAT.

MAJOR BLING

Sign up as team captain to claim (or avoid) the toughest leg of the course and its prize - the Capital Punishment medal. 
 
Double Your Bling - Run Ragnar Relay D.C. and Ragnar Trail Appalachians in 2015 to earn ‘The Mudslinger’ double medal.
 
Connector Medals – Run two or more races to collect these new connector pieces. The more you run, the more you earn.

Finish up the final legs of the race on backroads skirting Lake Michigan until you reach the Chicago finish line party on Saturday afternoon.
