Shake off winter and charge into spring at the Eklutna Lake IceBreaker Run, a lakeside trail race that delivers all the beauty, and all the chaos, of Alaska in March. Set along the frozen shoreline of Eklutna Lake, this out-and-back adventure offers 10-mile and 20-mile courses on one of Chugach State Park’s most scenic corridors.   Runners will stride (or crunch, or slide) across the lakeside trail as it winds alongside the frozen water of Eklutna Lake. And since we all know March in Alaska refuses to pick a season, you can expect a full sampler of winter conditions: packed snow, punchy snow, ice sheets, mashed-potato mush, muddy patches, unexpected sunshine, maybe even that perfect “winter glow” light that makes you forget your toes are cold for exactly half a second. Whatever the weather, this race is sure to breathe some life back into you after another long Alaska winter.   Race Day Info Bib Pick Up: Race day only at start tent 20 Mile - 8:15 am 10 Mile - 9:15 am Start Time: 20 Mil

Bike for Women is Alaska's premier all-women's time trial. Started in 2000, this annual event takes place on a 9 mile course that provides both challenging uphills and breath-catching downhills. Over 700 women of all ages and abilities participate in this fun competition, which serves as a great precursor to the Gold Nugget Triathlon and other summer races. The Bike for Women is part of the Arctic Bike Club's road race division and is the main fund raiser for the club. And since 2014, the club has also been donating $3.00 of every registration to Let Every Woman Know Alaska--a charity dedicated to raising awareness and providing support for women living with gynecological cancers.
