Late October weather in Juneau can vary from sun and mild temperatures to cold, wet, or snowy conditions; participants are advised to dress accordingly. Road conditions may be slippery and traction may be needed. The race is held entirely on the shoulders of North Douglas Highway and Fish Creek Road, so runners should be mindful of traffic and exercise caution when passing others while staying out of traffic.
