Death By a Mile

Don't be scared, it's only a mile(ish). Join us for our season finale at Skeetawk Ski Area where the only goal is to run as many one mile loops as you can in a given amount of time. Choose from 12, 8, 6, or 4 hours of racing the beautiful new Meadow Loop trail atop Skeetawk in Hatcher Pass.

Runners will begin at the start tent in the Skeetawk parking lot and make their way up the Altitude gravel path (.39 miles) before veering left to the entrance of the Meadow Loop trail (.54 miles). Here runners may choose to run the Meadow Loop in the direction of their choice, clockwise or counter clockwise. After completing one full loop, runners will head back down Altitude and check in at the start tent before heading back up on their next loop. Total elevation gain/loss ~200ft per loop.

Bring whatever food/nutrition you think you might need for the duration of the race along with anything else that comes to mind... (chairs, coolers, towels, blankets, etc.)

We'll provide water and Skratch Hydration and a variety of aid station snacks. The Skeetawk Yurt will be open for warmth and coffee for purchase (and maybe even a mid race beer).
