Ragnar is a U.S. relay-race company that has been putting on overnight, team-based endurance races for about 20 years. In its Trail series a team stays at a single basecamp — Ragnar Village — and runners rotate one at a time through three looped courses of different length and difficulty, running through the day and night and sleeping in tents between legs.
Ragnar Trail Wisconsin runs Friday 18 September to Saturday 19 September 2026 at the Nine Mile County Forest Recreation Area, 8704 Red Bud Rd, Wausau, Wisconsin. The three loops total 117 miles across a full team rotation, about 15 miles per runner on an 8-person team, on rooty, rocky singletrack through the forest with roughly 237 feet of climbing per loop.
Four team formats are offered: Standard (8 runners, $1,745 per team, about $218 a runner), Ultra (4 runners, $1,000, about $250 a runner), Black Loop (2 runners, $425, about $212 a runner) and Sprint (3 runners, one day, $425, about $141 a runner). Ragnar raises prices as the race approaches, so the figures above are the current tier rather than a fixed price.
Registration is handled by Ragnar on Let’s Do This, its own ticketing platform, and is reached from the Register button on the race page linked above. Check that page for tent rental and camping options, the current loop maps and Ragnar’s transfer and refund policy.
Ragnar is a long-running U.S. relay-race company that puts on overnight, team-based endurance events in two formats. Ragnar Road relays send teams of 12 (or smaller Ultra and Sprint teams) roughly 200 miles point-to-point over about 36 hours, running in rotation out of vans through the day and night. Ragnar Trail relays keep teams of 8 (or 4-person Ultra, 3-person Sprint, and 2-person Black Loop teams) at a single basecamp — “Ragnar Village” — where runners rotate through three looped trail courses, sleeping in tents between legs. Ragnar says it has run more than 350 races over 20 years with around 750,000 participants. Registration for every Ragnar race is handled on Let’s Do This, Ragnar’s own ticketing platform, not on Ragnar’s website.
