About the race

The route starts near the Alaska Flour Company barley mill and follows a mix of gravel roads and dirt trails through agricultural land. There are no paved roads on course. The terrain is relatively flat with a few minor hills, uneven footing, and possible muddy sections. Several long straightaways pass fields of barley and fireweed with mountain views.
