Trifecta Fitness Challenge
What is it?
The Trifecta Fitness Challenge is a 3 challenge event designed to keep athletes moving October 1st thru June 15th. We've recognized that many athletes are often struggling during these darker, colder (cooler) months and we wanted to make a special way to keep everyone active. We recognize how big of a piece physical fitness is to your mental health and we see how many people struggle with mental health during these colder months. These 3 challenges allow all kind of athlete to log their minutes/miles with an objective without the added stress an in-person physical event often has on individuals. We notice that often challenge athletes are those that are competitive in an intrinsic form though they love the motivation our leaderboards, weekly newsletter, private social media group and swag give them as far as being apart of something big.
All racers that sign-up for all 3 challenge events by November 15th will receive this Trifecta Challenge ring FOR FREE. After November 15th, there will be a limited quantity of rings available yearly for purchase at a first to purchase, first served basis but once they're gone, they're gone!

Tina Torun
Anchorage, Alaska
This will be my 4th year participating in the RAAWC and an honor to be selected as an ambassador again. Born and raised in Anchorage, AK. I am very active in the local running community, in the Anchorage Running Club, Raven Run Club, and volunteer Athletic Director of Team RWB Anchorage. This year, I became the Alaska Ambassador for Marathon Maniacs and Half Fanatics. I run year round, but the RAAWC adds extra motivation to stay active during the winter months. The RAAWC helps make the winter months go by faster. I like to inspire and motivate others to get outside and enjoy our beautiful state. It is always fun to meet and see other racers in the community. The RAAWC has been very encouraging and has helped me stay connected to my friends, in state and out of state. The multisport challenge will help with GNT training.
