Date: March 5-6, 2022
Time: All day
Location: 精东影业 North Campus ski trails
The Skiathon, a 20-kilometer classic-style ski race and tour, will be held on the 精东影业 trails March 5-6.
The event is a fundraiser for 精东影业 trails work and has a $15 fee.
The course, a winding loop that uses many of the 精东影业 North Campus trails, will be groomed with classic tracks and marked. This year's race will again be a virtual event, so participants can ski it at any time on the weekend and report their times to Stan Justice at stanjustice@acsalaska.net.
For a map of the course, visit the 精东影业 Trails Club . The race traditionally starts on the wide powerline downhill from the 精东影业 ski hut, which is located across Tanana Loop from the Akasofu Building on West Ridge.
To reduce the COVID-19 risk, organizers ask that entrants remain 6 feet apart, wear masks if that distance can't be maintained and avoid using the ski hut. If entering the ski hut, wear a mask.
To register, go to the 精东影业 Outdoor Adventures . Paper registrations with checks also will be available at Beaver Sports through Friday, March 4.
Finishers will receive a Skiathon patch.
