Now that all our contestants are at home, relaxing from a job well done, we thought it might be nice to put together a video to remember the experience! There are definitely some moments here that made us excited (and laugh) seeing them again. We are very satisfied with how the race turned out, it was great seeing so many people having fun racing. We also have all the times posted right below. Already excited for next year!

Big thanks to the City of Valdez for sponsoring this event, along with The Prospector, Copper Valley Electric, The Fat Mermaid, CVEA Community Foundation, International Mountain Biking Association, and Growler Bay.

National Trails Day (June 5)

Taken from the American Hiking Society: Millions of people have found physical, mental, and emotional restoration on trails during the pandemic. Let’s return the favor and care for America’s magnificent trail system while also making sure everyone in the U.S. has easy, welcoming access to trails and natural areas. Together we can care for our hometown trails, even while social-distancing.

American Hiking Society understands organizing safe events in 2021 can be challenging and not possible in some areas. We’ve added the ability to register virtual events for National Trails Day® so you can still connect with your community even if you can’t organize an in-person event this year.

We also know COVID guidelines vary across the country, so we ask all National Trails Day® events to abide by guidelines outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as state and local governments.

National Trails Day® event registration is now open!

You can now register a virtual or in-person event.

Register an event

Register an event on the official National Trails Day® event site, and your event will be visible to people looking to support trails and get outside in celebration of National Trails Day®.

Event registration is free!

In 2019, National Trails Day® reached more than 19 million people through social media feeds alone. It’s an excellent opportunity to connect to new and existing trail users in your community, whether in-person or virtually. Registered events may also receive added support and promotion from national sponsors (more details to come). Journalists also use the event database to find events to highlight in their coverage of June 5.

COVID guidelines for events may change between now and June, but as a reminder, you can edit your event details within the event host portal at any time.
