50 mile, 12 leg relay.
Teams of up to 6 runners start from Hatcher Pass, and descend along the Little Susitna River as it cascades out to the north side of the MatSu Valley. The course continues through a mix of farmland and forest in full Autumn color to the heart of Wasilla. It then turns back to the east all the way to the bank of the Matanuska River before twisting through historic Palmer to the Finish.
