Alaska Endurance Trail Run

The Alaska Endurance Trail Run, held in Fairbanks, Alaska, is a timed trail running event offering 6-hour, 12-hour, and 24-hour race options. Participants race to cover as much distance as possible within their chosen time frame. The course features a roughly 6-mile loop on the University of Alaska Fairbanks West Ridge trails, known for their well-maintained Nordic ski terrain. Runners experience varied surfaces including gravel, grass, roots, and forest duff, passing through forests, open fields, and meadows without road crossings except minor gravel paths. The event fosters a competitive yet community atmosphere, culminating in a post-race BBQ and awards ceremony. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
