RACE REVIEW

   IRONMAN Alaska

Bike Course Recon                                                                        

Overall Surface Quality: 

Excellent, an out and back on a recently paved road (2015/2016)

Strava workout from last year’s race:

2022 is the inaugural race - no workouts or segments

Significant Ascents:

Rolling hills and stunning views characterize this course. Quite a few of the rollers break 5%, but never for very long:

Highlighted sections >5%

Most of the climbs have wavering gradients and are often broken up by flat sections or brief downhills. Below are the longest ascents along Glacier Highway:

Climb @ mi 2.8 and 57.3  (heading north)                1.4mi,  180ft gained,  8.6% peak gradient

This is a typical double out-and-back on the same road. There are U-turns at miles 28, 54, and 84, and a couple 90˚ turns to get in and out of transition. Otherwise, there are no sharp turns along the entire course.

180˚ U turn;  @ mi 28 and 84

Entrance gradient (preceding 0.1 mi):  2.2%
