About the race
The Eklutna IceBreaker is a 10 mile out-and-back trail run along the frozen shoreline of Eklutna Lake in Chugiak, Alaska on March 20, 2027. The route follows the lakeside trail within Chugach State Park, with the majority planned on the actual lakeside trail; sections may be diverted to the upper road or trail if icy or unsafe.
March trail conditions can vary and may include packed snow, punchy snow, ice sheets, mashed-potato mush, muddy patches, and occasional sunshine. Limited aid is available at the 5 mile turnaround and includes water, grab-and-go snacks, and basic medical care. Medical staff will also be on site at the turnaround points.
There is no cell reception at Eklutna Lake; participants are encouraged to bring satellite communication devices if available. Race staff will have a Starlink connection at the start and finish, and emergency contact numbers will be provided prior to the event. Parking at Eklutna Lake requires a 2027 Alaska State Parks parking pass.
Registration opens November 1, 2026, closes March 15, 2027, and the registration fee is $70. Race swag and awards include a long sleeve race T-shirt (register by February 13, 2027 for guaranteed size), a finisher medal for in-person finishers, and podium awards for the top three male and female finishers.
