Bike Course 12.1 Miles
After the swim, retrieve your bike from T1 and exit through the southeast end of the Bartlett High School parking lot, following the “Exit Bike” signs. Stay on the flagged and chalked path to Alaska Native Heritage Center Drive, then turn sharply left onto the multi-use trail along Glenn Highway. Use caution here.
Ride the trail to the JBER/Glenn Highway overpass. Follow directions from APD and volunteers to cross the overpass and turn left onto Gunnery Range Road.
Important: No riding side-by-side, including for mother-daughter teams.
Gunnery Range Road is open to military traffic. Ride on the left side to the turnaround just before the weigh station, then return on the left to avoid oncoming racers. Volunteers will direct lane usage.
Back on Arctic Valley Road, veer left, then ride on the right side. After about a mile, a flagger will direct you at the Glenn Highway exit. Turn left at the stop sign, pass the golf course, and continue uphill to T2 on the right.
Helmet Policy
A properly worn helmet is required at all times when on your bike. If the wheels are moving and you are straddling, sitting on the top tube, or seated on the bike, your helmet must be securely fastened. This applies before, during, and after the race, including bike drop-off. Failure to comply may result in a penalty.
Friends and family riding bicycles in the GNT area must also wear helmets. This is a directive enforced by our insurance provider through USAT.
