Website

The Cirque Series at Alyeska Resort in Girdwood, Alaska, is a challenging 6.2-mile mountain race featuring a 3,890-foot vertical climb. Starting at sea level near the Day Lodge, runners ascend via Tanaka Cat Road, traverse the Silvertip single-track trail, and tackle the steep Center Ridge scramble up to 3,800 feet. The course offers stunning views of the Chugach Mountains, Turnagain Arm, and glaciers.

The descent includes technical trails through dense hemlock and spruce forests with steep, rocky sections requiring careful footwork. The race is capped at 700 participants and includes Sport, Expert, and Pro divisions. Aid stations provide hydration, and safety measures emphasize caution on steep descents.
