Angel Creek 50

Drew's Angel Creek 50

Drew's Angel Creek 50 consists of point to point trail races near Fairbanks, Alaska, offered at two distances. The event finishes at Chena Hot Springs Resort and starts at separate trailheads for each distance.

The 50 mile race begins at Twin Bears Camp (Mile 30 Chena Hot Springs Rd) and finishes at Chena Hot Springs Resort (Mile 56.5 Chena Hot Springs Rd). The 50K begins at the Angel Rocks Trailhead parking lot, joins the 50 mile course, and finishes at Chena Hot Springs Resort.

The course surface is roughly a 50/50 mix of hard packed trail with generally good footing and technical sections, mostly along ridge lines. Road access to the course is available only at the start locations, the Angel Rocks Trailhead, and the finish. Drop bag handling differs by distance: drop bags are available for the 50 mile race at checkpoints located at miles 30 and 42 and at the finish; 50K drop bags can be left at the 50K start, which is also a 37K/23 mile checkpoint for the longer race. A shuttle service transports runners from Chena Hot Springs Resort to the starts. Mandatory pre race briefings are held for each race.

Elevation figures: 50 mile: 12,600 ft gain and 12,000 ft loss. 50K: 6,400 ft gain and 6,200 ft loss. Chena Hot Springs Resort finish elevation: 1,300 ft. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
