Hatcher Pass Races
The Hatcher Pass Races take place on July 31 in Hatcher Pass, Alaska. All courses travel along Hatcher Pass Road between Hatcher Pass Lodge and Willow. Course maps are available.
The Marathon route gains about 3900 ft of elevation. The first 25 miles are uphill with a mix of gradual sections, steeper pitches, and switchbacks; the final 1+ mile is a downhill finish. The Marathon is slightly longer than 26.2 miles and does not qualify for Boston, but it will count toward a 50 States challenge.
The 50 Mile route begins with a steep climb, then descends to a midway turnaround located at the Marathon start. Runners then follow the Marathon course back up to the finish. The 50 Mile accumulates about 5000 ft of elevation and is roughly 54 miles in length.
Registration and pickup locations are listed for each distance: Lower Mine Parking for the 50 Mile and N Shirley Towne Dr for the Marathon. Additional event details and maps are provided by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
