FROSTY BOTTOM | chainreactionalaska

Frosty Bottom Update:

The 2025 Frosty Bottom Short and Long is Cancelled.

After visiting course trails this morning, they continue to confirm to be very unsafe. This is a first and sad news for all, but cancelling the 2025 edition of the Frosty Bottom is a must.

With forecast showing more rain and higher temps (40 degrees) on the horizon, trail conditions are only going to get worse. Safety for you (frost bottom participates) and additional trail users is our top priority.

For all those currently registered, please watch your emails closely for information regarding the options for future race entries and/or how to proceed.

On behalf of Chain Reaction Cycles, we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Frosty Bottom Update:

We have been closely monitoring trail conditions along the course profile. Unfortunately, it is glare ice on most sections of the course. Though a safe and injury free event for all participants and other trail users cannot be guaranteed, our first priority is safety. As of current, the trail conditions show higher risk than reward.

Please continue to watch Facebook, Instagram, and email for updates.

Thank you

Frosty News:

Course could be very challenging to mark course this year if we don't get more snow.

The Frosty Bottom is an annual winter endurance event held entirely on the multi-use trails through Anchorage.

Starting at the Kincaid Chalet on the west end of town, the Frosty Bottom follows the Coastal Trail and the Chester Creek Trail to the turn around at Goose Lake for the short course, or continue to the Tour of Anchorage Trail all the way to the Anchorage Hillside and back for the full course for a one of a kind urban fat bike racing experience.
