Drew's Angel Creek 50
Drew's Angel Creek 50 (DAC50) near Fairbanks, Alaska, consists of point to point trail races offered in two distances. Both courses finish at Chena Hot Springs Resort, which sits at 1,300 ft elevation.
- 50 Mile start at Twin Bears Camp (Mile 30 Chena Hot Springs Rd) and finish at Chena Hot Springs Resort.
- 50K start at the Angel Rocks Trailhead, joins the 50 mile course, and finishes at Chena Hot Springs Resort.
The courses are roughly a 50/50 mix of hard packed trail with good footing and technical sections, mostly along ridge lines. The route is road accessible only at the start locations, the Angel Rocks Trailhead, and the finish. Shuttle service is provided to transport runners from Chena Hot Springs Resort to the starts. Drop bag locations differ by distance: for the 50 mile race at miles 30, 42, and the finish; for the 50K drop bags can be left at the start line, which is also the 37K / 23 mile checkpoint.
Elevation totals are provided for each distance: 50 mile 12,600 ft gain and 12,000 ft loss; 50K 6,400 ft gain and 6,200 ft loss. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
