Message from the RunFest Race Directors

The 2023 race experience was extremely positive, with happy participants, and a smooth event. Given the challenges we had to overcome with low volunteer numbers and a shortfall in the local economy, we were thrilled to have put on such a high-quality event. The 2024 Anchorage RunFest promises to once again be a brilliant, competitive, and fun-filled event.
