Valhalla Pure Yukon River Trail Marathon

The race categories are full marathon, half marathon, relay and half marathon walk. The course is divided into four legs, ranging in length from 8 to 13 km. The marathon and relay routes consist of all four legs. The half marathon consists of legs 1 and 4.

It ain’t an easy course, but she’s beautiful! The course starts on the Millennium Trail, then travels on single-track to Kwanlin (Miles Canyon) and Canyon City, continues on the Yukon River trail towards Chadburn Lake, follows the beautiful trails along Chadden Lake, Schwatka Lake, and Hidden Lakes to end up near the Whitehorse dam where runners return to the Millennium Trail, and run next to the Yukon river (Chu Níikwän) to the finish area. This scenic run is an amazing way for locals and visitors to take in the beauty the City of Whitehorse has to offer.

The entire course is located on the traditional territories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta’an Kwäch’än Council. All runners are expected to follow Indigenous Yukon’s Respectful Travel Guidelines.
