The group moves efficiently, running flat and gradual terrain, and ascending and descending safely in the steep and technical mountain terrain. Traditionally, members of this group can complete the round trip to at least the Flat Top summit from the Glen Alps trailhead in 90 minutes, while front runners may round trip to Peak 2 and back in the same time.
• Mountain/Backcountry Sense – Participants should be able to safely navigate in the mountains by themselves if they become separated from others, and be prepared with appropriate clothing (see Equipment).

Competition options during the Alaskan Summers are a plenty!
