Chena River to Ridge
March 4, 2023
55 Mile and 26 Mile Multi-sport Endurance Race
We invite you to venture north to Fairbanks to participate in this unique multi-sport endurance race in interior Alaska. The Chena River to Ridge race will take racers around maintained snow-machine trails in the Chena River Recreation Area about 30 miles east of Fairbanks. Its a challenging race course with big ascents, fast downhills, blind turns, and outstanding views of the local hills and the Alaska Range as the trail climbs high above the valley floor. Racers can either travel by ski, bike, or on foot. There is a 55-mile course and a 26-mile course. After the race, you can relax your muscles in the thermal waters at Chena Hot Springs Resort, about 30 minutes away.

It’s exhausting recreating hard to enjoy these spring conditions in the interior… kind of like the finish line of CR2R 😉!

We truly apologize for a delay in final results being available due to technicalities that we’re out of our hands. We will NOT experience these issues again in 2024.
CONGRATS to all race finishers on what was an extra cold and extra special day out there!
Thanks for organizing a very fun race! Judging from the results of my "blistering pace", I might have had a little too much fun 😊!
Snotsicle Sunday’s are pretty legendary in our neck of the woods!

Meet George Berry. George is not only a local Fairbanks legend as one of the most active members in the running community, but he is also Chena River to Ridge’s MVP as the grill master! George hauled his grill out to race head quarters and spent all day volunteering making sure the grill stayed hot and the racers stayed fed!
George is a shining example of what makes our active Fairbanks community so special. Thanks for lighting up the grill and lighting up the day with your presence, George!
