Jane Lanford, a well-known distance runner in interior Alaska, and her husband, Steve, have generously donated the cost of the rental fee for the 2018 Chena River to Ridge staging facility. It’s a win-win for all involved, as all fees for renting the Twin Bears camp help to support the Fairbanks Rescue Mission, the region’s only overnight emergency shelter. Jane and Steve, of course, get lots of good karma and our humble gratitude.

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

RESULTS ARE LIVE! www.athlinks.com/event/342530/results/Event/1039868/Results
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!
