Talkeetna Trail Race
September 13th, 2025!!
The Talkeetna Trail Race (formerly the Bun to Bun) is a 25K race on Talkeetna's amazing trails, as well as a 5k-ish stroller and kid friendly race that benefits the kids of Talkeetna. All of the proceeds will go to the Talkeetna Elementary School's PTA!
The 25K is a trail course and is often muddy and slick in the fall. Terrain varies from 4 wheeler trails to single track and ski trails. The trail is very pretty with all the dangers of rural Alaska. No one under 18 is allowed without an adult running with them. Please be prepared for remote, wild conditions. Bear spray is encouraged. The 5K-ish race is a stroller and kid friendly race! Each person registered prior to the cut-off date of July 15th, 2025 will get the T-Shirt size they choose. **IF YOU ARE REGISTERING ANYONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF - KNOW THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SIGNING THE WAIVER ON THEIR BEHALF**.
The Talkeetna Trail race was formerly known as the Bun To Bun Trail Race. The race began as a way for the Talkeetna Elementary PTA to encourage healthy activity and to raise money for its Healthy Snack and Salad Bar programs. With our Healthy Snack Program we attempt to expose children to a wide variety of healthy, nutritious foods. Our Salad Bar Program allows us to offer a free salad bar 2 days a week to all children. Please help the Talkeetna PTA succeed in providing these and many other services to the children of Talkeetna.
