Delta Junction Barley Half Marathon & 9K

About Delta Junction Barley Half Marathon & 9K

The Delta Junction Barley Half Marathon is a non-profit half marathon trail race hosted by the Alaska Flour Company in Delta Junction, Alaska and benefiting the Delta High School Booster Club. The course starts near the Alaska Flour Company barley mill and follows a mix of gravel roads & dirt trails around a loop through Delta's beautiful agricultural lands. There are NO paved roads! While the course is relatively flat with only a few minor hills, this is a trail race so expect uneven terrain and perhaps a few muddy spots. Several long straightaways allow runners to focus on their paces as they pass by fields of barley and fireweed, as long as they don't get distracted by the nonstop views of the mountains! A shorter 9K race has been added (5.6 miles) for our second year, which will follow the first 5K of the half marathon route and the last 3K. The races are open to everyone ages 10…
