Anchorage, AK | Saturday, August 15, 2026Registration OpenCharity / Cause
Welcome to the Anchorage RunFest, the largest event and main fundraiser for the Anchorage Running Club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This event will be held on Saturday, August 15, 2026 and Sunday, August 16, 2026. Proceeds are used to help defray the costs of the Kids’ 2K (free for all participants), for college scholarships to high school runners, and to support local organizations whose missions are in line with the Club’s goal to promote healthy lifestyles through running and exercise. Note: Shirt sizes are guaranteed through June 30, 2026. After this deadline, sizes cannot be guaranteed—we need final numbers to print shirts. Registrations after this date may not receive your preferred shirt size.
