Hills from Hell starts at Alder Park on Bryant Street.  The course runs up Bryant to Buren Ave to Fairview Ave, continues on Fairview to Jackson Street.  Heading down Jackson Street, using the stairs to reach Tongass Ave.   Take 2nd Ave, the immediate left off of Tongass, to White Cliff Ave and turn right to reach Tongass Ave again.  Follow Tongass Ave to the Elliott Street stairs and head up to Water Street.  Follow Water Street to the Schoenbar bypass and head up the hill!  Follow Schoenbar Rd to turn left onto Park Ave and follow as it turns into Deermount Street.   Head up to toward the Landfill on Ketchikan Lakes Road/ Nordstrom Drive.  Turn around at the cone and head down the hill, retracing the Deermount/Park Ave route, continuing down Park Ave, taking a sharp right onto Bawden Street.  Head up Bawden, turn right onto Pine, left onto Forest and once you return down the hill the finish line awaits!  

NOTE: Due to Tongass Ave construction, there may need to be modifications to the route. Updates will be provided on the Runsignup page and via social media.
