Chena River to Ridge
march 5, 2022
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.

A fun race that was a lot of work to organize. Thinking of the work that you all put into just getting the trails in shape is inspiring me to do Stiles Ck trail this Saturday. Hope to see other "26ers" out there too!
You all put a lot of work in to get the race together, thank you! I felt pretty beat up at the end, but am already looking forward to next year.
