About this trip

A small group trip for four intrepid trail runners, this 6-day/5-night excursion will take place in the Turnagain Arm area. Each day, our guide will offer up a menu of runs for guests to choose from featuring variable elevation and technical aspects.  Trails run from 4-12 miles in length and feature 400-2500 feet elevation gain. The views are outstanding and the food will be delicious. 


This is our best value trip, as it focuses on running and leaves other Alaskan adventures (flight seeing, wildlife watching, glacier cruising) up to you either before or after your time with us. Come see us in the Last Frontier and let us show you some of the most amazing trails in the country. 

Our Accommodations

Guests will stay in a comfortable cabin or home in Girdwood and Hope Alaska (we choose lodging based on trail plans, which are centered around our pre-trip guest survey). 


Accommodations will feature four separate beds in one to four private (to the group) rooms. Living areas, kitchens, and bathrooms may be private as well or shared with other guests on the property.

A really incredible experience so thoughtfully and meaningfully curated by Kim. Our guides were not only knowledgeable and experienced but incredibly curious and eager to learn with us and passionate about sharing their love for Alaska and running. The accommodations were lovely and quaint and we ate well every day. Loved every minute of it!

There aren't enough stars to rate the wonder, beauty, and the absolute adventure that was this trip. The itinerary was perfectly set, a fine balance of exploration, Alaskan culture, and meaningful connection. The food was always 10/10 and our hosts: Kim, Jed, the Orca Lodge, Jackson, and Alaska herself, treated us well and made us feel like old friends. This trip exceeded my expectations. It left me wanting more and I cannot wait to go back. Oh and heads up: Really interesting, cool people go on these trips. This trip attracted the most kind, generous, curious, spiritually-awake humans...and I got to hang out with them all week long. Cordova tapped us into a current that felt celebratory, there was collective joy and lifelong friendships were born. Thank you Cordova. You are forever in my heart.

An unbelievably wonderful experience! We had such an amazing time kayaking through ice bergs, hiking through beautiful scenery, and fishing for some delicious Alaskan fish! Kim did an amazing job planning our week out and the staff at Orca Lodge was impeccable. The food was so delicious and the service was wonderful. Highly recommend the entire experience!

It was absolutely spectacular. I can’t say enough good things about this trip. It will be a core memory I will carry with me forever. The location, the people, the food, the experience is like nothing I have ever experienced. It felt magical.
