Bringing back the series with a bang! Join me and my friends Evan Hone and Zach Miller as we venture up north to "the last frontier" in Anchorage/Seward/Eagle River, Alaska to race in the Crow Pass Crossing. A brutally technical 22-mile point-to-point race held every July that runs from Girdwood to the Nature Center in Eagle River.
After the race, we hit the road to the site of Mount Marathon in Seward, Alaska.

What an amazing adventure! The terrain reminds me a lot of Wales, but without the worry or bears. Dammit I love Zach Miller, what a legend he is. If you guys ever want to come explore Wales, hit me up.

@BillyYang 6 лет назад

Love Zach too. How can you not?

Yeah, I was waiting for some footage of a bear or two. Even a bear that was off in the distance or something. Or a moose. Still a great running video though.

@mhenn9896 6 лет назад

Keep it up billy! No matter if 2015 you was faster. So many of us are still a ways away from our first ultra. Keep it up I'll be out there someday!

What a beautiful, fun little film. When I saw you around Leadville a few weeks ago I wanted to say "hey I'm a youtuber too, let's be best friends" but thankfully thought better of it. Respect, my man!

I love to see our great Alaska trails on film for all to see. I was also under-trained for the crow pass crossing but proudly finished. Thanks for bringing the big guns but I’m glad an Alaskan won. 🙂

Wish they gave Scott Patterson more credit, the guy may be local and a skier, but he's legit.

@BillyYang 6 лет назад

seoul588 who is “they”? I edited the piece so you can always blame me but there’s no denying Scott’s talent and resume. Not to mention he is a really nice and genuine guy. At the end of the day, this was just a documentation of 3 dudes having fun in Alaska :)

@JAHinHK 6 лет назад

Billy Yang Films I meant at the ten minute mark race introductions. They made a big deal of the out-of-towner folks. Just seemed to bypass Scott. Maybe because he's a known entity to those in attendance.

@deanpereza 6 лет назад

The out-of-towner folks race internationally and win races whereas Scott is pretty low key with his races. The point of the organizer of making a big deal with them so that it will attract more runners around the world. Scott is very talented but he needs to get out/race more outside Alaska.

Benoit Sony a6500 + Zhiyun Crane. Not super compact but compact enough

@projetchalet 6 лет назад

Thanks ! Well... right I'm using Black Magic Pocket + glidecam... so that's nice. Love the shallow depth of your cam - better than my Sony RX100 - but hey... we do what we can" Videos are always nice... I always wait to have the time to watch it - like watching a film. :) Thanks for the good job !

@austinado16 5 лет назад

Oh man, great video, and excellent job capturing what it's really like in that part of Alaska. I grew up there, and ran Mt. Marathon as a "junior" back in '78 (way before there was ever a lottery). The rainy, cold summers. The broken car windshields. The dirt roads. The homes littered across the countryside. The fireweeds. Sunlit skies at night. And the fear of "real" bears. Yep.......you nailed it. That's Alaska!

Are you allowed to carry bear mace in this race?

@sunnydas8802 6 лет назад

The probability of running into a bear on the trail seems pretty high .I am not sure if it is a good idea to organize a race here ,especially since a runner is most likely to startle a bear then maybe a hiker. I am sure the adventure element is the siren here along with the beautiful locale. Having said that kudos to all the runners and the race organizers, I maybe reading too much into the bear threat...
