Join us for the KNSC Nordic Ski Marathon
The Marathon is traditionally a marathon length (26.2mi or 42K) point-to-point race starting at Lookout Trails and ending at the lower Baycrest Trail system.
The race goes through remote, challenging and most beautiful terrain in Alaska.
Questions? Email Race Directors Deland and Megan! deland@xyz.net and megancorazza@hotmail.com
The 42K and 25K courses are planned for the traditional route; point-to-point starting at Lookout Trails and ending at the Bog Loop (Follow the race signs!) lower Baycrest Trail system. Park for the 25k & 42k Finish at Rogers Loop.
13K Tour course will start and finish at the stadium at Lookout and will be timed with awards this year.
BE AWARE: This remote course is very difficult & challenging and safety comes first. This includes looking out for others & stopping to help when someone is in need until a rescue sled arrives. Do not take chances - because a rescue will take a LONG time to find you and there is no cell service in some areas. Use caution on the steep drops- especially if you can't see the bottom!
Routes and start times:
42k Lookout to Roger's Loop 9:30 start
25k Lookout to Roger's Loop10:00 start
13k Lookout loop 10:30 start
Prizes will be awarded to the top three male and top three female finishers at an afterparty/awards ceremony.
FURTHER DETAILS:
Emails will be sent to all participants with details a few days prior to the race.
Outhouses will be available at the start and finish
Refreshment stations will be available approximately every 10k on the route
Participant parking is TBD, but there will be a shuttle bus in the morning (time TBD) to ferry people from their cars at the finish to the starting point.
Bib pickup and day-of registration will occur at Lookout from 8:30-9:30am.
Afterparty location TBD, will have race awards, prizes, food and drink.
Registration for 42k for under 18 okay only with director's permission. Not a separate event from the adult race.
