Ragnar Reach the Beach (RTB) is one of the oldest and longest running relay races in the United States.
The event runs from Friday, September 12 to Saturday, September 13, 2025. The two-day relay starts at the Lancaster Fairgrounds and finishes at Hampton Beach State Park in New Hampshire. RTB consists of teams of 12 runners (or six-person ultra-teams) who race to cover the 200-mile course over the two days. The one-day sprint relay, which covers half the distance, starts in Allenstown, NH and consists of six- or three-person relay teams.
Teams looking to secure a free race entry can select a fundraising package that has a fundraising minimum associated with it. If teams have their own entry, they can run with Breakthrough T1D as a Supporter Team with no fundraising minimum and a chance to earn Breakthrough T1D swag!
When you join the Breakthrough T1D community, we’re committed to helping you reach your fundraising goal every step of the way. Every dollar raised by Breakthrough T1D Run participants brings us closer to our finish line: a world without type 1 diabetes. Let’s do the extraordinary together.
