8.1 Miles
Equipment
Shoes and appropriate running attire. Event organizers are not responsible for any belongings left at race sites.
Directions
From downtown Whitefish, head North on Baker Avenue over the viaduct. Turn left on Edgewood and head to City Beach.
The Course
The race start is approximately 8 miles north of the finish up East Lakeshore Drive at the Swift Creek trailhead. Runners will head south along East Lakeshore Drive as it becomes Wisconsin Ave. Turn right on Labrie Dr then left on Dakota Ave. Continue on Dakota until it intersects with Skyles. At this point turn right on Skyles and go over one very short and steep hill to the finish line on the left.
Parking
There will be no parking at City Beach. Please use neighborhood streets and walk to venue. There will be a temporary loading area to drop off boats and bikes.
Pre-race Meeting
There will be a pre-race meeting at 6:30 AM at City Beach for all competitors. The meeting will provide participants with the most up-to-date information on the race course and a review of all safety precautions. IT IS MANDATORY FOR All PARTICIPANTS TO ATTEND THIS MEETING. The buses leave at 7am and The Glacier Challenge begins with the 8 mile run leg at 7:30 AM.
Timing
It is important for all participants to have their race bib visible for timekeepers to see. The timing chip is afixed to the bib so the bib needs to be visible on the front of your shirt. Do not crumple the bib. You should only cross a timing mat when finishing a leg.
