Death By a Mile

Death By a Mile is a unique endurance running event held at Skeetawk Ski Area in Palmer, Alaska. Participants run as many one-mile loops as possible within set time frames of 12, 6, or 4 hours, with options for morning or afternoon sessions. The course features the Meadow Loop trail atop Skeetawk in Hatcher Pass, combining a gravel path and a scenic trail loop that runners can complete clockwise or counterclockwise.

The event encourages a social atmosphere with aid stations providing water, hydration, and snacks, while the Skeetawk Yurt offers warmth, coffee, and beverages. Awards are given to top loop finishers, and the race supports the local ski and recreational area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
