RACE CONDITIONS To Top

Anchorage Cup races will not be held when weather or trail conditions pose a safety risk to participants.  When weather or trail conditions are marginal we will encourage participants to enter the shorter distance events.  The minimum air temperature that races will be held is -20 C (-5 F).  Windy conditions, especially when combined with cold weather, are also a safety concern.

The Race Director will make a final determination regarding the acceptability of racing conditions as soon as possible but no later than 10 AM the morning of the race.  A race that cannot be held due to unsafe conditions will be rescheduled and if there are no available dates it will be cancelled.  Registration fees will not be refunded.
