Kesugi Ridge Race @ 9am

This race is entirely optional but highly recommended if you think you might still have it in you to cover 14 or 30 miles on the final day of the adventure. Those not doing the race can still enjoy the course and (weather permitting) an unmatched view of Denali.

After the race, we will travel to Anchorage where evening and night departures are possible.
