Bike Course Instructions

After completing the swim, proceed to T1 to retrieve your bike. Exit the transition area by following the “Exit Bike” sign located at the southeast end of the Bartlett High School parking lot. Follow the marked route, which includes flagging and spray chalk, guiding you through a dirt connector path. This path briefly connects to Alaska Native Heritage Center Drive.

Upon reaching North Muldoon Road, take a sharp left onto the multi-use trail. (Please exercise caution at this turn.) Continue riding on the trail adjacent to the Glenn Highway, heading toward the JBER/Glenn Highway overpass. At the overpass, an APD officer and flagger will direct you to make a right turn to cross the overpass. Additional APD officers and volunteers will assist you in safely making a left turn onto Gunnery Range Road.

Important Notes:

• No riding side-by-side: Riding alongside another racer, including mother-daughter teams, is prohibited.
• Road usage: Gunnery Range Road is not closed to military personnel and vehicles.

Ride on the left side of Gunnery Range Road toward Eagle River until you reach the bike turnaround located before the weigh station. On your return up the road, remain on the left side to avoid crossing paths with other racers. This rule applies only on Gunnery Range Road. Flaggers and volunteers will be stationed at the entrance and exit of Gunnery Range Road to ensure proper lane use.

Once back on Arctic Valley Road, you will resume riding on the right-hand side, following traffic. At the intersection of Gunnery Range Road and Arctic Valley Road, veer to the left but continue riding on the right-hand side of Arctic Valley Road. Follow the route for approximately one mile until directed by a flagger managing traffic exiting the Glenn Highway onto Arctic Valley Road.

At the stop sign, turn left to proceed up Arctic Valley Road along the golf course. Continue past the driving range and up a small hill, where T2 will be located on your right.
