Save the date: Durango, Colorado, September 18, 2027. There is no Valkyrie event in 2026 - the year is being used intentionally to rebuild and plan what comes next.

The Valkyrie website has been rebuilt: five editions of results, the photo gallery, the Bivouac story, Wingmates, and email updates for 2027.

Every Valkyrie Relay winner from 2021 to 2025, in one place.

Sept. 14, 2024: Team LifeLaw won in 8:28:38 - nearly an hour faster than the 2023 winning time.

Sept. 16, 2023: the first Durango race. MTC won the Full Relay in 9:25:46.

June 18, 2022: the second Valkyrie Relay, in Utah's Heber Valley. 25 teams finished the Full Relay.

June 19, 2021: 31 full-relay teams raced the first Valkyrie Relay across Utah's Wasatch Back.
