This challenging event, first run in 1983, takes participants through breathtaking scenery, including a climb of over 1,000 meters to the White Pass Summit. Beyond the full 10-leg team relay, offering individual legs ranging from 9 to 25.6 km, the race also provides shorter options for diverse participants. Runners can choose a half-leg race starting from Carcross, covering approximately 70.7 km, or an ultra-solo category that sees a single individual tackle the same 70.7 km section. The Klondike Road Relay is known not only for its physical demands but also for its vibrant community spirit and connection to the rich history of the North.
