With a course that will take runners through historic towns and sites and a finish line party in the nation's capitol, this course is often called "Ragnar's Best Kept Secret". Start running from the town of Cumberland, Maryland and teams will head east through thick forest trails and scenic paths. Around nightfall, run through the quiet streets of many charming historic Civil War-era towns, ultimately passing within the shadows of the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. Celebrate with teammates as everyone storms the finish line together in the new finish line at Yards Park in downtown Washington DC! This is a running event that is not to be missed.
