The Ragnar Relay Series is a series of long distance running relay races organized and orchestrated by Ragnar Events, LLC, which is based in Salt Lake City, UT.

With 19 relays in different geographic locations, the Ragnar Relay Series is the largest relay series in the United States.

The first Ragnar Relay was held in 2003 and encompassed 188 miles from Logan, UT to Salt Lake City, UT.

On January 23, 2013, Ragnar announced their first ever "trail relay" series, the first of which would be held in Zion National Park in April of that same year.

In 2014, Ragnar Events, LLC announced the first Ragnar to be run internationally, Ragnar Relay Niagara Ontario.

The Niagara Ontario race was officially postponed and later cancelled all together.

A half marathon is a road running event of – half the distance of a marathon.

Participation in half marathons has grown steadily since 2003, partly due to the fact that it is a challenging distance, but does not require the same level of training that a marathon does.

In 2008, Running USA reported that the half marathon is the fastest growing type of race.

A 2010 article by Universal Sports mentioned the growing popularity of the distance.

It is common for a half marathon event to be held concurrently with a marathon, using almost the same course with a late start, an early finish or shortcuts.

The half marathon is also known as a 21K, 21.1K or 13.1 miles, although these values are rounded and not formally correct.

In many races finisher medals are awarded but they may differ from concurrent full marathons by color, wording, or some other attribute.

In other events both races are put on the same medal although their ribbons may vary.

Trail running is a sport which consists of running and hiking over trails.

In the United Kingdom and Ireland it is called mountain or fell running.

It differs from road running and track running in that it generally takes place on hiking trails, often in mountainous terrain, where there can be much larger ascents and descents.

It is difficult to definitively distinguish trail running from cross country running.

In general, however, cross country is an IAAF governed discipline that is typically raced over shorter distances (rarely over 12 kilometers), whereas trail running is loosely governed, and run over longer routes.

The 10K run is a long-distance road running competition over a distance of ten kilometres (6.2 miles).

Also referred to as the 10K road race, 10 km, or simply 10K, it is one of the most common types of road running event, alongside the shorter 5K and longer half marathon and marathon.

It is usually distinguished from the 10,000 metres track running event by stating the distance in kilometres, rather than metres.

During a relay race, members of a team take turns running, orienteering, swimming, cross-country skiing, biathlon, or ice skating (usually with a baton in the fist) parts of a circuit or performing a certain action.

Relay races take the form of professional races and amateur games.

In the Olympic games, there are several types of relay races that are part of track and field.
