Message from the RunFest Race Directors

Our 2022 race experience was extremely positive, with happy participants and a smooth event. Given the challenges we had to overcome with supply chain issues, low volunteer numbers, and a shortfalls in the local economy we were proud and elated to have put on such a high-quality event. The 2023 Anchorage RunFest promises to once again be a brilliant, competitive, and fun filled event.
