Get ready to experience Ragnar like never before with the new Ragnar Washington D.C Sunset, happening Sept. 21, 2019. We’re talking a brand new race and a whole new Ragnar format. What makes Sunset different? A smaller, 4-person team, less mileage, just one day of running and a whole lot of festival fun.

Join the adventure, starting Saturday afternoon, at National Harbor in Maryland, just outside of the District. Teams of 4 will try to outrun the sun, running relay-style on a 4.7 mile loop two times each, on a course that features stunning canal views and iconic vistas of the harbor. Together, you will run more than a marathon!! Your goal? Finish before the sun sets.

For this event does each member run their two loops consecutively or team member 1 runs one loop, passes it off to team member 2 who runs their first loop and so on until team member 4 and then they start over?

The idea to run an overnight 24+ hour running relay across the mountains of Utah was a lifelong dream of Steve Hill. The dream became a reality in 2004 when Steve, his son Dan and Dan’s college roommate, Tanner Bell, organized the first Wasatch Back Relay, spanning 188 miles from Logan to Park City, UT. Starting small, the Ragnar Relay Series has grown from a single relay in Utah to the largest overnight relay series in the nation. Some call it a movement. We call it Ragnar.
