The 2024 race experience was extremely positive, with happy participants, and a smooth event. Given the challenges we overcame with fantastic volunteers and an enthusiastic participant group, we were thrilled to have put on such a high-quality event. The 2025 Anchorage RunFest promises to once again be a brilliant, competitive, and fun-filled event.
