The Krrbrrr - Knik River Break-Up Ramble Run

The Krrbrrr is the 9th annual Knik River Break-Up Ramble Run taking place on April 4, 2026 in Palmer, AK at 17704 Sullivan Ave. The event runs as an 8-hour timed window during which participants may complete as many laps as they choose. The organizer describes the event as very low key and informal rather than a highly managed race.
