The Delta Junction Barley Half Marathon is a summer half marathon trail race hosted by the Alaska Flour Company in Delta Junction, Alaska. 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, along with some classic Delta wind gusts that may both help and hinder your pace depending on the wind direction. 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!
The race is open to everyone ages 10 and up. All participants aged 19 and younger on race day receive a youth discount of $15 off the full adult entry fee. Walkers are welcome! A generous time limit of 4.5 hours (20:30/mile pace) means everyone can enjoy the event without stressing over time cutoffs. Professional chip timing by Frosty Feet Timing will be provided along with aid stations every few miles along the course. All participants receive a T-shirt included with their entry fee, and the top 3 male and female runners will receive trophy recognition. The overall male and female champions will also receive a $175 gift certificate courtesy of Tangle Lakes Lodge, good for a cabin and canoe rental at their adventure lodge on the Denali Highway. Celebrate your accomplishment with post-race festivities at the mill with recovery food and beverages provided by our race sponsors.
The 2026 race will be the inaugural race! Help spread the word about the race to everyone who may be interested in participating, whether as a runner, a volunteer, or a sponsor. Let's turn this rugged half marathon race into a premier event that people from Interior Alaska and beyond will enjoy year after year!
