2025 trail update: parts of the trail washed out this year and Chugach State Park advised us that they will be working on the trail to make the run possible, but it will most likely be more challenging in those sections. We will post updates about those conditions of course as we learn them!
South Anchorage -Turnagain Arm Trail
This year we will run the Southbound route from Potter to Rainbow. We alternate the course every year between the Northern and the Southern route. The Southern route: The 8 mile course starts at the Potter Trail Head and ends at the Rainbow Trail Head. We will run through the parking lot at McHugh to get intermediate times. The 4 mile course is the same as the last 4 miles of the 8 mile course (starting at McHugh at the end of the lower/mid parking lot), also ending at the Rainbow Trail Head.
The entire length of the trail is comprised of single-track and double-wide soft surface trail. Most of the trail is moderately rocky and rooty, and the entire trail traverses moderately hilly terrain, including some longer and steeper hills. The south-facing topography of the trail means that it is usually remarkably dry if the weather’s been nice, even in the springtime, and the views of Turnagain Arm are especially good before the trees leaf out for the summer.
