The Klondike Road Relay runs every year from Skagway to Whitehorse in the month of September. The race offers physical challenge, team camaraderie, and the gracious northern hospitality of Alaska and the Yukon. The relay is run on paved highway throughout the night and into the next day over challenging terrain and breathtaking scenery. Runners are often treated to beautiful starlit nights with displays of northern lights.
Known far and wide as one of the hardest – and most rewarding – marathons in North America, the Skagway Marathon has quite the reputation. This 26-mile run climbs multiple hills as it traces its way through pristine Southeast Alaskan fjord coastline, through a glacially-carved valley, an enchanting Sitka Spruce wood, over the Taiya River tressle bridge, past numerous trickling streams, up West Creek Valley, before finally reaching a forest opening with a spectacular view of West Creek Glacier and breathtaking mountain peaks and alpine scenery. Yeah… Whoa is right.
