Tour of Anchorage

5577 Abbott Rd, Anchorage, AK 99507, USA

DESCRIPTION

The Tour of Anchorage is one of the few point-to-point cross-country ski marathons in North America and may be the only one that crosses through an urban environment! There are 3 ski distances of 25, 40, and 50 kilometers available in both Freestyle and Classic techniques.  We also welcome Fatbike racers and will host a 50K, 40K and 25K race on the same course. In each race, participants range from competitive elite athletes to recreational athletes just challenging themselves to get to the finish line.

The 40k and 50k start on the Anchorage Hillside and traverse the city along ski and multi-use trails. Tunnels, bridges, and greenbelts make it possible to ski from one side of town to the other without crossing a single road. The 25k races start in midtown (Alaska Pacific University) and tie into the 50K and 40k courses. All races finish at the ski stadium of Kincaid Park on the western edge of the city overlooking Cook Inlet.

Please note:

If you are participating in the 25k, your starting location will be at APU (4101 University Dr, Anchorage, AK 99508)

If you are participating in the 50k or 40K, your starting location will be at Service HS (5577 Abbott Rd, Anchorage, AK 99507)
