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

Climb @ mi 44 and 98 (heading south)                2.5mi,  250ft gained,  7.3% peak gradient

  • Reaches highest point on the course

Climb @ mi 50.4 and 105 (heading south)                1mi,  150ft gained,  7.3% peak gradient
