EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION
Please, do not call the Point Mackenzie General Store

We know you have friends and family who want to track your progress during the race.  Please ask them to do so via this website, which will be updated with results throughout the race if weather and conditions allow.  During the race, our phones are used to contact checkpoints and facilitate racer safety.  If a true emergency arises, and someone must contact a racer or race personnel, then this number may be used: 907-240-2767.  In the history of the race, only five or six such situations have arisen.  Events such as death in the family or imminent birth of a child come to mind.  Arranging post-race transportation is NOT an emergency.
