Prepare for an unforgettable mountain running experience at the Ragnar Trail Colorado Individual, taking place on June 5, 2026, in the stunning Snowmass Village, Colorado. This marks the final year for Ragnar at Snowmass, making it a unique opportunity to conquer the Rockies amidst breathtaking scenery. Participants can choose their challenge: tackle the 24-hour or 6-hour ultra events, pushing their limits by completing as many loops as possible, or opt for the 6.6-mile single loop race.

The course itself is a runner's dream and a formidable challenge, featuring rolling single-track trails that wind through glacial valleys, past blooming wildflowers, and under snowcapped peaks. Expect significant elevation gain, with the renowned Red Loop alone boasting 1,121 feet of ascent and descent along a 9,000-foot ridge, rewarding runners with panoramic views of the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness. While the altitude and challenging climbs will test your endurance, the awe-inspiring mountain vistas are sure to "take your breath away." Runners should be prepared for typical race day conditions, with highs around 74F and lows dipping to 40F, and only a 4% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the trails, the Ragnar Village serves as the vibrant hub for this unique event. Here, runners will find a lively atmosphere complete with bonfires, s'mores, movie nights, and yard games, fostering a strong sense of community. While water stations are available on the course, Ragnar operates as a cupless event, so bring your reusable hydration vessels. Whether you're a seasoned ultra-runner or seeking a new trail adventure, Ragnar Trail Colorado Individual promises an unparalleled experience of camaraderie, challenge, and natural beauty before it moves to a new location in 2027.
