Races

The Delta Junction Barley Half Marathon is a summer half marathon trail race hosted by the Alaska Flour Company in Delta Junction, Alaska. The course starts near the Alaska Flour Company barley mill and follows a mix of gravel roads & dirt trails around a loop through Delta's beautiful agricultural lands. There are NO paved roads! While the course is relatively flat with only a few minor hills, this is a trail race so expect uneven terrain and perhaps a few muddy spots, along with some classic Delta wind gusts that may both help and hinder your pace depending on the wind direction. Several long straightaways allow runners to focus on their paces as they pass by fields of barley and fireweed, as long as they don't get distracted by the nonstop views of the mountains! The race is open to everyone ages 10 and up. All participants aged 19 and younger on race day receive a youth discount of $15 off the full adult entry fee. Walkers are welcome! A generous time limit of 4.5 hours
