United Physical Therapy 49K Ultra

Our 49K Ultra is special event for runners desiring a bit more of a challenge than the one offered by the marathon distance. This event serves up the uniqueness of running a 49K in the 49th state of the Union.

The 49K Ultra (or 30.44860 miles for the metrically challenged) course begins in the heart of downtown Anchorage. Runners head west on 6th Avenue, north on H Street, then straight ahead on Christensen Drive to 2nd Avenue where the course turns left to join the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail. They run past Westchester Lagoon, Earthquake Park, Postmark Drive and Point Woronzof. Their first turnaround point is approximately 1/4 mile below the top of the Kincaid hill, the toughest hill of this race, by the chalet. Returning to Westchester Lagoon, runners bear right (east) on the Chester Creek Trail. From the Chester Creek turnaround (the roundabout at the base of the hill beyond, or east of, the bridge to East High School) runners return to the lagoon and head back to the finish line in downtown Anchorage.
