# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Veins of Gold Mountain Race
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 15 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 am
- **Event Description**: Starting at Government Peak Recreation Area parking lot runners will make their way up Government Peak via the race trail. Once to the top of Government Peak participants will continue to follow the ridge line over to April Bowl and down to the Summit Lake Parking lot. Once at the parking lot runners will continue down the road to Independence Mine! The race itself is about 8 miles with around 5,000ft vertical gain. This race is challenging and covers a variety of terrain including steep uphill trail, loose rock, shale, tundra, dirt road and a tiny portion of paved road at the very end.  Weather and conditions can change the terrain very quickly making it more difficult/dangerous. It is ultimately the responsibility of the participant to be aware of their surroundings.

Requirements:
All participants will be required to sign a waiver that they have completed the entire course at least once prior to race day.

If you are not comfortable in the backcountry, with vertical gain, loose footing, and steep ridges this race is not for you. 

Due to safety for all runners we require you to carry at least 500 calories, 500ml water, a light jacket, and hat/gloves.

Alaska Mountain Rescue Group is a nonprofit volunteer search and rescue organization that will be out on the course during our race. They are a huge asset to our community and we hope you help us support them!

10% of your registration fee will be going to Alaska Mountain Rescue Group. When you see them out on the course be sure to thank them for their time & support.
