We have commissioned a local artist to create custom artwork inspired by a beloved Anchorage park for this year's community event. All participants will receive a sticker by mail with this custom artwork after the event. Other items will also be available to purchase (with a discount for event participants) later in the summer.

Navigating the Moose Loop Trails
Anchorage has one of the best urban trail systems in the country, with hundreds of miles of paved multi-use trails connecting neighborhoods, parks, and businesses across the city. Linking existing trails and city streets forms a 32-mile urban greenway loop in the shape of a moose! Use this interactive Google map to plan your 5K, 10K, Mini Moose routes, or navigate the full Moose Loop. Read detailed directions for connecting the trails into Moose Loop.
