The First Howl - Jan 01

Everything you could hope for in a winter trail party...snowy trail loops, a book hunt, and a bit of eggnog to top off the festivities! 

Runners will have 3 hours to complete 3 separate loops on the Crevasse Moraine trail system. There will be a 5 mile, 3 mile, and 1 mile loop. At bib pick up, each runner will draw cards to determine the order of their loops. At the halfway point of each loop, runners must find a hidden book and tear out the page that matches their bib number (Barkley style) and return their page to the RD at the completion of that loop. The first M/F runners to complete all 3 loops and turn in their 3 pages will be the winners.

Parking: 

Parking is available at the Crevasse Moraine trailhead. A 2027 MatSu Borough Permit is required.

Aid Station:

One main aid station will be available at the pavilion for runners to access between loops. Water, electrolytes, broth, chips, and other snacks.

Nog Mile: Eggnog will be provided. If you have allergies, please let us know and we will work to find a comparable substitute.
