Join First Descents in June for Ragnar Trail Relay in Snowmass, Colorado!
What is Ragnar? Teams of 8 individuals will get Out Living it on three separate mountain trails, or “loops” that start and finish at Ragnar Village. Over a 24 hour period, each individual will have gained 950 feet of elevation, run 15.1 miles, and raised thousands of dollars for First Descents!
