About
Ragnar Trail Zion, the trail relay that inspired the entire series is back! Grab your most adventurous friends and join us May 9-10, 2025 to run, relay-style, over two days and one star-filled night! Your team will set up camp at Zion Ponderosa Resort, a hidden gem just outside of Zion National Park. This venue features amenities like a pool, hot tubs, showers, a rock climbing wall and restrooms.
Join us a day earlier, on Thursday, for a full blown 3-day weekend desert adventure. On Friday, the real fun begins as teams of 8 (or 4) cycle through a series of three challenging trail loops that start and finish at Ragnar Village.
You’ll run through sweet summer sage, under towering ancient pines and across red dirt trails that take you up (and up!) to some expansive overlooks including Dixie National Forest, Cedar Breaks, and Zion National Park’s famous “Checkerboard Mesa.”
When the sun sets the party keeps going as runners head to the trails in the dark for a spirit-quest, soul-searching, star-fueled night of running where the real memories are made.
The race wraps up Saturday where you can finish together under the Ragnar arch and celebrate with the best medal ever.

Route information
Green Loop - Checkerboard Mesa
Distance: 4 miles
Elevation Gain: 331 feet
After leaving Ragnar Village you will head out on a wide tracked horse trail that will take you on a journey out to a beautiful view of Checkerboard in Zion National park. Once you have taken all the photos you desire you will head back on a single-track trail that will take you on a fun ride back to the Village. This section is a bit challenging so be sure to watch your step and follow the green arrows.
Yellow Loop - Pine Knoll
Distance: 4.1 miles
Elevation Gain: 640 feet
Don't blink, you don't want to miss anything on this leg. You will head out with the red loop runners for a mile that provides panoramic views of Zion Ponderosa Ranch. Just past mile one you will say adios to your red loop friends and embark on your yellow loop journey. It will begin with a scenic single track trail that climbs 400 ft. along a pristine ridge. Dig deep to get to the top where you will be rewarded with amazing vistas of Zion National Park! Once you have taken enough pictures you will then be on a downhill journey that twists and turns back to Ragnar Village. You will join back up with red loop runners around mile 3.3 and, if you have the energy to talk, you can compare your journeys. Enjoy!
Red Loop - Backbone
Distance: 7.5 miles
Elevation Gain: 906 feet
You will head out with the yellow loop runners for the first mile and take a tour around Zion Ponderosa Ranch. You will then part ways from your friends on the Yellow Loop and continue up the trail through the trees, gaining 400 feet in about a mile and a half. Keep on going and dig deeper cause this loop is not an easy one! The ATV trail will keep going up up up! Pay attention to the signs as you will make a sharp right onto another ATV trail that will quickly turn into single track and you will be on a roller coaster ride for about a mile through the pines going over several bridges. Watch your step! You will be rewarded with beautiful views of Zion National Park so bring your camera! Once you are off the single track it's all downhill from here! But you are only at the halfway mark. Be sure to fill up at the water station and hydrate before finishing up the final few miles on double track and some single track before returning to the Village. You will soon join back up with yellow loop runners around and, if you have the energy to talk, you can compare your journeys. Enjoy!
