Summer break as a kid was a vibe. Whether you were belly-flopping into the deep end or staying up way too late at camp, those moments shaped you. And guess what? They also point straight to your perfect Ragnar race. Here’s the match-up, based on your favorite childhood chaos:
If Recess Was Your Main Sport…
Run: Ragnar Road Michigan
You never sat still. You were the one who turned tag into a full-contact event. Ragnar Road Michigan is built for big energy: 200-ish miles of lake views, backroads, and nonstop action from van to van. Cowbells required. Time-outs not included.
If You Were a Sleepaway Camp All-Star…
Run: Ragnar Trail Appalachians
You had a flashlight under your pillow and s’mores in your soul. Trail Appalachians gives you all the camp-core energy: forested loops, night runs under the stars, and a team village that basically is grown-up bunk life (plus snacks).
If You Lived for Sprinklers and Slip ’n Slides…
Run: Ragnar Road Minnesota
You were soaked all summer, and proud of it. Ragnar Road Minnesota runs alongside rivers, lakes, and green rolling hills. It’s the perfect combo of water-side breeze, team hype, and mid-run cool-downs. Bonus points for bringing your own Super Soaker for exchanges.
If Arts & Crafts Was Your Whole Personality…
Run: Ragnar Trail Vermont
Your camp name was “Glitter Bomb” and you may have had a friendship bracelet business. Trail Vermont is your canvas: trick out your tent, light up your loops, and make your team the most extra crew in the forest. Pro tip: bring battery-powered fairy lights.
If You Were the Last One to Fall Asleep…
Run: Ragnar Trail Rainier
You thrived after dark with ghost stories, star charts, and midnight snacks. Trail Rainier is your new moonlit playground. Run through evergreens with just your headlamp and pure vibes. Then stay up late swapping stories around the fire until someone passes out in a hammock.
If You Were the Neighborhood DJ…
Run: Ragnar Road Reach the Beach
You made mix CDs for every occasion and had a top-5-song ranking at all times. Reach the Beach is your moment. From the mountains of New Hampshire to the Atlantic coast, you’ll soundtrack the van, the exchanges, and the finish line dance party. Right on the beach!
If You Were Just There for the Snacks…
Run: Ragnar Trail Wisconsin
You showed up to camp with extra gummy worms and a lunchbox worth trading. Trail Wisconsin is the snack-friendly, vibe-heavy, laughter-fueled weekend you’ve earned. Low pressure, high reward. Great taste in granola bars.
If You Built a Fort in Every Backyard…
Run: Ragnar Trail Michigan
Tents were your domain. Blanket forts? More like your architectural masterpieces. Trail Michigan is your adult fort fantasy complete with pine trees, looped trails, and a village that feels like one big team sleepover. Don't forget your glow sticks!
If You Were Always Starting a Dance Party…
Run: Ragnar Trail Florida
You made every field day a full-on event. Trail Florida brings the heat and the rhythm. Run through oaks and palms by day, and rally your team for a starlit dance party by night. It’s the last race of the season which means you can make it into the ultimate last-horrah dance party of your dreams.
If Capture the Flag Was Your Olympic Sport…
Run: Ragnar Trail Texas Hill Country
You played hard, got dirty, and always had a strategy. Trail Texas brings rolling terrain, technical trails, and big team energy. Rally your squad, lock in your loops, and go full red-team mode.
If You Were the Overprepared Kid…
Run: Ragnar Trail New Jersey
You had snacks, sunscreen, Band-Aids, and backups of everything. Trail New Jersey is for the planner with heart. Forested trails, a tight-knit village, and a place where your "overpacking" is suddenly legendary. Side note: you’d be a GREAT captain!
If You Were the Talent Show Star…
Run: Ragnar Road Bourbon Chase
You cracked the jokes, led the singalongs, and somehow convinced everyone to do a talent show. Bourbon Chase is your stage! 200-ish miles through Kentucky's bourbon country with a side of smooth roads and wild energy. And your van is the party van. Obviously.
If You Were the Early Riser (Voluntarily?!)
Run: Ragnar Trail Colorado
You were up before anyone and halfway through a hike before breakfast. Trail Colorado is your dream terrain: alpine views, crisp mornings, and trail loops that reward the early grind. Bonus: the sunrises are unreal.
If You Turned Every Trail Into an Expedition…
Run: Ragnar Trail Arizona
You were the explorer. The pathfinder. The one who disappeared and came back with stories. Trail Arizona serves up cacti, red dirt, and wild desert views. Perfect for the curious kid turned trail-hungry adult.
If You Were the Camp Hype Leader…
Run: Ragnar Trail SoCal
You brought the energy, the speaker, and the team chant. Trail SoCal gives you golden hills, dusty loops, and a team village that stays buzzing long after sunset. Bring the volume. Be the vibe.
If You Still Think About That One Campfire Night…
Run: Ragnar Trail Ohio
It was simple: stories, stars, snacks. But it stuck with you. Trail Ohio captures that feeling. Wooded trails, a buzzing village, and just enough chaos to keep it interesting. Quiet magic, Ragnar-style.
Which "Summer You" is Your "Ragnar You?"
Whether you were the glitter kid, the chaos kid, or the campfire kid, there’s a race with your name on it. Grab your crew. Build your team. Let’s run summer the Ragnar way.
