Now that the dust has settled from yesterday, thank yous are in order!

A huge thank you to all of our incredible volunteers who gave up their Saturday—and countless hours beforehand—to make this race a reality!

A special shout-out goes to our race director, Tracey, (who was loving forced into taking this photo LOL!) for taking care of the massive amount of behind-the-scenes work that goes into organizing a trail race!

We want to send a huge thank you to our wonderful race sponsors! This event truly wouldn’t happen without your generosity. Please know how deeply valued and appreciated you are.

And lastly, we want to thank all of the runners who came out to hit the trails with us! We had a great turnout and are so lucky to have you all!

The money raised from these races goes to the Talkeetna Elementary School kids' healthy lifestyles program run through the Talkeetna Elementary PTA. It supports sports, healthy foods, art and more!

See ya next year!
