For those who liked the old versions, here they are: Old version w/ topo (295 KB) Race Start: GlennallenThe 2010 CB300 will be starting at KCAM, located at Mile 187 in downtown Glennallen, Alaska. Easy accessibility from the Glenn Hwy makes the Copper Basin 300 one of the more popular sled dog races for spectators. 23 miles to Tolsona Tolsona Lake ResortThe resort is found in the community of Tolsona at Mile 170.5 of the Glenn Highway. This fast-paced checkpoint is a favorite with the spectators. 26 miles to Wolverine Wolverine LodgeWolverine Lodge is located in the picturesque community of Lake Louise. The lodge can be found on the south shore of Lake Louise at Mile 16.5 of the Lake Louise Road, which leaves the Glenn Highway at Mile 159.8. Trail Note: The 9 mile upside-down V-section out to Fish Lake has been eliminated. Instead, the trail now goes straight across Ewan Lake and right to Soudough. In other words, this portion of the trail is now basically a staight shot from Wolverine to Sourdough. The Trail Map is now updated! 50 miles to Soudough Creek (Removed 9 Miles, 2010) Sourdough CreekThis checkpoint is found at Con Seay's Sourdough bunkhouse near the old Sourdough Lodge at Mile 147.5 of the Richardson Highway.
