Kodiak Mountain Series
The Kodiak Mountain Series is a three-day stage race held in Kodiak, Alaska. The event comprises three separate races over three days. Results are the sum of each participant's times from all three stages; the lowest total time wins in the Men's, Women's, and Teams categories. There are no age divisions. A King of the Mountain award is presented for each race to recognize the fastest ascent, with no divisions.
The courses feature steep single-track trails, alpine sections with shale and rock on parts of the route, ridge running, and views of surrounding peaks. The route descriptions note lakes encountered on descent and locations with broad views that can include marine sightings.
Distances and elevation gain for each stage:
- Stage 1 - Heitman Mountain: 5.91 miles, 2,238 ft gain.
- Stage 2 - Sharatin Mountain: 7.76 miles, 2,777 ft gain.
- Stage 3 - Pyramid Mountain Loop: 5 miles, 2,138 ft gain.
