The Juneau Ridge Race is not just a run, it’s an Alaskan mountain adventure. Starting in the heart of downtown Juneau, you’ll climb to the summit of Mt. Juneau, traverse a jaw-dropping ridgeline with endless views, and then drop into wild granite basins before racing back to town. It’s 15 miles packed with 5000 feet of climbing, technical trails, and the kind of raw wilderness that makes this race unforgettable.

With a lively finish line festival at Cope Park complete with wood-fired pizza and post-race celebrations, this event blends serious mountain running with serious community fun. Add in the fact that winners punch their ticket to the legendary Mount Marathon Race, and you know this one belongs on your race calendar.
