Parking is available at the Pioneer Road trailhead parking lot or on the road nearby; the location is past the Rainforest Trail and False Outer Point.

5k runners follow the marked turnaround on the road and return to the start. Half marathoners continue onto Eaglecrest / Fish Creek Road, turn right, proceed to the one mile marker, and return to the start. There is no aid station for the 5k. Half marathoners have an aid station at the halfway turnaround on Fish Creek Road offering water, Gatorade, a healthy snack, and candy. The event will have a food and drink table and a porta-potty at the start area.
Organizers note seasonal safety considerations. Late October weather in Juneau can vary from sun to cold, blowing snow, or slushy conditions. Road surfaces may be slippery; participants should consider traction if snow or ice are present. The route uses the roadway shoulder; all runners should be mindful of traffic and exercise caution when passing others to maintain space while staying out of traffic.
