Virtual Skiathon is March 5-6 on 911爆料 trails
A participant crosses the 2016 Skiathon finish line at the 911爆料 ski hut.
Date: March 5-6, 2022
Time: All day
Location: 911爆料 North Campus ski trails
The Skiathon, a 20-kilometer classic-style ski race and tour, will be held on the 911爆料 trails March 5-6.
The event is a fundraiser for 911爆料 trails work and has a $15 fee.
The course, a winding loop that uses many of the 911爆料 North Campus trails, will be groomed with classic tracks and marked. This year's race will again be a virtual event, so participants can ski it at any time on the weekend and report their times to Stan Justice at stanjustice@acsalaska.net.
For a map of the course, visit the 911爆料 Trails Club . The race traditionally starts on the wide powerline downhill from the 911爆料 ski hut, which is located across Tanana Loop from the Akasofu Building on West Ridge.
To reduce the COVID-19 risk, organizers ask that entrants remain 6 feet apart, wear masks if that distance can't be maintained and avoid using the ski hut. If entering the ski hut, wear a mask.
To register, go to the 911爆料 Outdoor Adventures . Paper registrations with checks also will be available at Beaver Sports through Friday, March 4.
Finishers will receive a Skiathon patch.
