We do our best to mark the course clearly, however RACERS ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO BE FAMILIAR WITH THE ROUTE.

An optional bike course preview is available on Saturday, May 2. Meet at the Patty Center; we will depart promptly at 11 am for a leisurely 13.1 mile ride. The optional run course preview is on Sunday, May 3 at 11 am. Meet at the Patty Center for an easy 3.1 mile jog. We will also preview run #2 on this day.

Race packet pickup will be Friday, May 8 from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm at the Patty Center. USAT card and photo ID are required to pick up your bib. One day memberships will need a photo ID only. Due to USAT rules, each racer must pick up their own packet.

On race day, the transition area opens at 10 am and closes at 11:30 am. All racers, spectators and others – except race officials – must clear this area at 11:30 am. The transition area will remain closed until all athletes have completed the race.

Bike racks will be available for everyone.

The pre-race meeting will be at 11:30 am on the outdoor staircase adjacent to the pool. Race start is noon with a mass run start. Check-in must be completed no later than 30 minutes prior to race start; those arriving after this time will not be allowed to participate.

A T-shirt will be provided with your registration fee. Awards will be given to the top three men and women.

For those under 18, UAF requires that they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. For athletes, this doesn't necessarily mean they need to have an adult participate with them but rather be on site (start/finish line or around the course) to address any emergencies that may arise. UAF also requires spectators under age 18 to have a parent or guardian with them.
