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.

I know Kimberly Riggs was out on the course, and I believe finished the 55 mile bike.
Not sure what happened with my time but I believe I was 3rd...
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!
