Chena River to Ridge
FEBRUARY 27, 2021
55 Mile and 26 Mile Multi-sport Endurance Race
in Interior Alaska’s Chena Recreation Area
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.

Attention Racers!
Twin Bears (race start/finish) was not plowed well, so PLEASE, if you can, park at Compeau Trail (come down the trail and stay to the right to get to Twin Bears, approx 1/2mi). There is limited parking w/ 4x4 vehicle at Twin Bears. Sorry, we rent this facility and expected it to be plowed better 😞.
6-8” of new snow and it has been snowing all day.
Roads are not great, please drive safe.

Lots of fresh snow and it’s still coming down. ~4-6” at Twin Bears and 6-8” on the ridges. Doing what we can. Almost lost a volunteer in the snow. More updates later tonight hopefully.
Thanks for all the smiling faces, good attitudes, and great conversations 🙂.
Hummm, jacuzzi at the hotel sounds so much more appealing lol
Many thanks to the awesome volunteers for all of the hard work.
Thank you for all your efforts and the volunteers!
THANKS so much Nikki, Ryan, Mike and all the many volunteers. Awesome event you put on and you did everything possible to make a trail with all the new snow. Sandwiches, snacks, etc were best ever. Great race. See you next year.
Thanks for your hard work!
Way to go, guys. The trails were great given the conditions.
Thanks for putting so much effort in to packing. Looking forward to the race!
