How Ragnar virtual challenges work

1Choose Your Challenges

You can choose between a specific event challenge or pick one of our team challenges that are available any time. You can participate in multiple team challenges at the same time, but only one event challenge at a time.

2Invite Your Team (And Buy Matching Swag)

While you wait for the event’s start date—you choose the start date for team challenges—you can invite anyone you want to your team.Team members are invited by entering their email address or sharing a special invite URL with them.

Now is a good time to connect your Strava account and plan which team members are going to run each leg.

It is also recommended to buy matching swag for your team. Science has shown that a team in matching gear has 72% more fun.

3Run

Once the event or challenge starts: run and log miles to compete. It’s recommended to verify your runs by connecting your Ragnar account to Strava.

With an event challenge you’ll need to make sure you and your team mates are completing all their race legs just like in a physical Ragnar event.

In a team challenge the goal is to complete the mileage or elevation before the end date. The order or breakdown of miles among team members doesn’t matter.

4Party(And Sleep)

After you complete a challenge or event, you’ll have two days to add any missing runs that you didn’t complete.

Both event challenge and team challenge finishers will have access to an exclusive finishers shop.
