Creepy Course DESCRIPTION:
Park at the cul-de-sac at the very end of the North Douglas Highway, past the boat ramp and False Outer Point.
The marked course begins where the white shoulder line starts, on the uphill/mountain side of the road (opposite from the ocean side, so we don’t have to cross the boat ramp entrance).
Stay in the shoulder, cross the Eaglecrest road with care, and continue down the highway until the turn around point.
The turnaround will be marked with chalk and a sign and a GREEN CREEPY HAND. Unless someone steals it. It’s just before the bright pink mailbox at 8992 N. Douglas Highway.
To avoid a highway crossing at the bottom of a curved downhill, pivot and make a u-turn in the shoulder on the uphill side of the road to go back the way you came.
Please use caution if you pass people running in the same shoulder. Do your best to give each other space while staying out of traffic. Consider having a mask available.
Since half the race is with the flow of traffic, please be extra visible – yet another reason to wear an attention-grabbing costume!
Watch out for runners in the shoulder on your drive back down the highway.
Refer to photos below for course details.

Darkness is descending on Juneau. Put on those reflectors, headlamps, bright colors, etc.
We will have “Runners on the Road” signs.
Do not run on the highways- i.e., stay inside the white fog line! Watch out for and yield to traffic crossing the road. Runners will use caution and obey standard traffic rules at all times and will watch out for and yield to traffic that is on or crossing (e.g., parking, etc) the road.
Comply with all CDC recommendations, the State of Alaska, and City and Borough of Juneau's mandates regarding social distancing.
