KAYSVILLE, Utah. — The Wasatch Back relay is returning in 2021. Shortened into a one-day event, it will be a little different from years past.

Runners will come together on June 12 in Logan to kick off the adventure, conquering one of the more difficult races in the Ragnar series. Teams run through some of Utah’s most Ragnar-friendly communities and up some of Utah’s most stunningly green mountainsides. There will be wildflowers in Avon Pass and countryside running terrain with horses and stoic barns. Each team member completes their two legs (or four, if you are running the ultra). Teams will cross under the orange Ragnar arch together at one of the best finish lines ever at Snowbasin Resort.

This year’s course is laid out here. There is a Facebook Group organized for any last-minute runners, where some runners are still joining in on the event. However, registration closed earlier in May.
