Kluane Chilkat International Bike Relay 2025!

Each June, cyclists from across the continent gather for one of the most breathtaking and beloved races in the North—the Kluane Chilkat International Bike Relay (KCIBR). Spanning 150 miles from Haines Junction, Yukon to Haines, Alaska, the route winds through glacier-carved valleys, alpine vistas, and stretches of remote wilderness that few ever experience by bike.

Whether you're a seasoned competitor or a casual rider in it for the views, KCIBR is all about camaraderie, challenge, and sheer joy on the open road. Riders compete solo or in teams of 2, 4, or 8, and the event welcomes everyone—from elite cyclists to first-timers embracing the adventure.

🚴 Race Date: Saturday, June 21, 2025
Held around the summer solstice, you’ll ride under some of the longest daylight hours of the year.
Top finishers complete the course in under six hours—but even if you're awarded the Red Lantern as the slowest finisher, the celebration is the same.

🎪 The fun doesn’t stop at the finish line!
The same weekend, the Southeast Alaska State Fair partners with the Lynn Canal Gillnetters to host a Salmon BBQ & Live Music at the Fairgrounds—making this one of the most festive weekends of the summer.

Founded on a spirit of adventure and international connection, the Kluane Chilkat International Bike Relay brings riders through some of the most spectacular terrain in the world. The relay begins in Haines Junction, Yukon and ends in Haines, Alaska, with teams crossing an international border and navigating through eight relay legs of awe-inspiring scenery and changing terrain.

KCIBR is more than a race—it’s a tradition. Many riders return year after year, reconnecting with teammates and fellow riders in a celebration of perseverance, wild landscapes, and the shared thrill of the journey. Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply soaking up the mountain air with friends, the KCIBR is a must-do experience.
