Girdwood Marathon 2020
October 3rd at 9am Meet at the Alyeska Daylodge. Gird your loins, it's time for the Girdwood Marathon!! This is probably the only good news of 2020 so savor it. Choose the full 26.2 mile marathon or 13.1 mile half-marathon. The race starts and ends in the idyllic, forested village of Girdwood. The course takes you through town, along the Bird to Gird trail, into the mountains rich with autumn colors, and views of snow-dusted peaks. It's probably going to rain or hail or both since it's Girdwood, after all. Aid stations? No. This is a BYOBS race (Bring Your Own Bear Spray), along with water and a smile. We will start the race in waves (COVID) and with waves. Covid says, "Race is limited to a maximum of 30 racers for the Marathon, maximum of 30 for the half." Thank you! SIGN UP HERE

Soltice Ski
When the days are short and nights are long, a best place to be is among beautiful big spruce, twinkling lights, gliding along on your skis. Join Nordic enthusiasts on the 5K loop, complete the 1k or more with your headlamp and enjoy being outdoors, safely a ski-length away from friends and community! There's plenty of space to kindly spread out and celebrate our Winter Solstice. Solstice ski when the time is most comfortable for you. We look forward to seeing you before, on, or after Solstice, December 21, 2020. If this is when your annual renewal of GNSC membership occurs, click away online and help GNSC maintain great trails.
