The 2022 Tanana River Challenge, held Saturday March 19th, saw a total of 63 racers cross the finish line. Race weather was ideal with a low of 7°F for the 8AM 45 mile start and warming to 21°F in the afternoon. Winds were calm for most of the day before developing into a slight tailwind for racers that finished in the late afternoon. This year’s racecourse was modified due to logging activity on the normal route. The river section was fast with a good solid base. The new trail sections were 2 weeks old on race day and, while well-groomed, softened throughout the day.
