Directions: South of Anchorage on the seward highway, then west on the
sterling hwy just past coopers landing. Trail head on the north (right) side just
after crossing the kenai river for the 2nd time.
From the north, you can go to Hope, AK and it's just southeast of town on the airport
road.
Trail Information: The race is an informal no-aide, no-fee, no-shirt
gathering of some fabulous runners from the area... it's 38.7mi on the trail and then 12
mi on the coeur d'alene campground road.
Awesome trail... low, high, overlooking the teal blue glacier silt kenai river, past
alpine lakes, glacier views, peaks, valleys, but overall rolling and quite gentle... 1/2
point is resurrection pass at 19mi... then winding back down, over streams/bridges, thru
old old fire scarred timber, etc...
Potential for bears, moose, caribou, beavers, otters, etc... just amazing!
Miscellaneous Information: You can run it, hike it, fast pack it, bike
it, snow machine it?? In the winter perhaps, snowshoe it, ski it, or anything your heart
desires, but just do it! :)
The race director is Rob DeVelice... works for US forest service i think.
