2023 North Pole run course reroute
Due to construction at multiple sites at Chena Lake Recreation Area, we have been forced to reroute the bike and run courses.
See the map below while reading these directions. The run course will involve leaving the transition area and running the bike trail toward to the dike road. At the bridge, turn right to cross the road and get on the bike trail that parallels the dike road. You will run the entire length of the bike trail to the park entrance. Run around the concrete jersey barrier at the end and come back the exact same route.
Elevation change is at most five feet for the whole thing. There is minimal shade. This course is right at 6 miles, a tad shorter than the original 6.2 miles.
There will be an aid station at that turnaround. Another will be at the Corps of Engineers and Borough "project offices" side road which you pass twice.
The entire course will be open for public use during our race. Please use caution and remain alert for pedestrians, loose dogs, toddlers, etc.
We do not plan to do a course preview run.
