Ragnar Relay, host of team-based relay running events, announced Yellowstone Bourbon as its Official Bourbon Partner for the 2025 race season. 

This dynamic partnership celebrates the shared adventurous spirit and dedication to excellence that both brands embody, creating a unique connection between the running community and bourbon enthusiasts nationwide.

As the Official Bourbon Partner, Yellowstone Bourbon will bring its award-winning, premium spirits to all 29 Ragnar Relay events across the country, beginning with Road SoCal in California and Trail Atlanta in Georgia the weekend of April 11. Racers and fans alike will enjoy on-site bourbon tastings, interactive experiences and opportunities to learn about Yellowstone Bourbon’s rich heritage and commitment to outdoor conservation.

“We’re excited to partner with Yellowstone Bourbon as we kick off the 2025 race season,” Phillip LaHaye, General Manager of Ragnar Relay, said in a news release. “Yellowstone’s dedication to excellence and their focus on adventure and the outdoors makes them the perfect celebratory companion for our runners. This partnership will enhance the Ragnar experience for our participants in a truly memorable way.”

Ragnar Relay races push teams of runners to conquer stunning landscapes over the course of two days and one night. With two race formats – Road (around 200 miles) and Trail (about 120 miles) – participants are tested on their endurance, teamwork, and resilience. Yellowstone Bourbon, known for its exceptional quality and dedication to preserving America’s national parks, brings an ideal pairing to the Ragnar experience, celebrating moments of achievement and connection. 

To celebrate this partnership, Yellowstone Bourbon is offering one lucky team a chance to win a fully paid entry into the 2025 Bourbon Chase, an iconic relay race through Kentucky’s scenic bourbon country. Entries are open now through Feb. 12, 2025. For details and to enter, visit the registration website.

About Yellowstone Bourbon

Founded by pioneer distiller Joseph Bernard Dant, Yellowstone Bourbon was named for our country’s very first national park in 1872. In 2011, seventh-generation Master Distiller Stephen Beam – a descendant of both the Dant and Beam distilling families – founded Lebanon, Kentucky-based Limestone Branch Distillery and resurrected the Yellowstone brand with the creation of Yellowstone Select Bourbon. Since 2018, Yellowstone Bourbon has partnered with the National Parks Conservation Association and is one of NPCA’s largest annual corporate sponsors, donating $750,000 to preserve national parks.
