A Fabulous Friday Night in May!

Take Bands, Bear Tooth, and Beer, sprinkle in a little running or a great walk and we're talking about the best way to get summer going!

Join your families, friends, and your local ravens for the most fun you can have on a First Friday!

Taking place on one of the most unique courses in Anchorage, we close down the A/C St bridge for a scenic lap around Government Hill. Then traverse Downtown Anchorage, the Coastal Trail, Westchester Lagoon, with bands to serenade you along the way!

Finish the night at the Rose Garden with music, satisfy your hunger with Bear Tooth wraps, and wash it all down some Broken Tooth beverage.

You'll get a t-shirt you'll wear for years, Bear Tooth Grub and a refreshing Broken Tooth Beverage at the finish line.

Meet at Skinny Raven Downtown for the start of your event. Both distances start at 8th & H St. Cruise your course and finish at the Rose Garden on the Park Strip for all the post event fun! We will keep you updated on any changes via email and on the Event Page. Check the map on the event page for the course routes.

    Join us for a family fun run from Inlet View Elementary out along the Coastal Trail. This race has one downhill at the beginning along N Street and is flat after that! Set an early season PR or trot with along with the whole family. The Salmon Run is a great spring race to kick off your running season.

    Inlet View Elementary is located in downtown Anchorage, and is one of the oldest, traditional neighborhood elementary schools in our town. Today, with money raised through events like the Salmon Run, we are able to provide reading tutoring, supplemental math programs, after-school Spanish classes, writing workshops, art, music and physical education assemblies as well as busses for field trips, scholarships, financial assistance for meals, and classroom support.

    DAY OF BIB PICK-UP 8:30- 9:30am in the school gymnasium.

    PARKING: The Anchorage Lutheran Church has generously opened their parking lot to us. The easiest way to access this lot is to take West 15th Avenue to O street and drive through the back alley (N. street will be closed for the race) From the church parking lot you can walk to the school less than a block away. Thanks to the Anchorage Lutheran Church for supporting our school and this community wide event.

    See you Saturday, May 2nd at 10am!

    The AB Korkor Foundation is officially retiring the Five Fifty Fifty Run/Walk for Mental Health, a bold and inspiring initiative that began as 50 run/walks in 50 days across all 50 states. During the first two years of the event, the Foundation’s founder, Adel B. Korkor, personally ran in every one of the 50 events over 50 consecutive days, embodying the dedication, resilience, and urgency behind the Foundation’s mental health mission.

    As the Five Fifty Fifty chapter comes to a close, the Foundation is excited to introduce its next evolution: the Steps For Strong Minds 5K Run/Walk, a family-focused mental health event designed to be more accessible, community-centered, and welcoming to participants of all ages and abilities—continuing the movement forward, one step at a time.

    The Strong Minds Sprint is an exciting new 40-yard dash designed especially for kids ages 10 and under. This high-energy event encourages children to stay active while reinforcing the important connection between physical movement and mental well-being. Through fun, friendly competition, young participants build confidence, resilience, and healthy habits that support strong minds and strong bodies. We are thrilled to introduce this new addition and can’t wait to see our youngest runners take off toward a brighter, healthier future.

    Join our movement and make mental health a priority in YOUR community! We encourage families to run/walk together and to make that easy, kids 13 and under participate for free. Please note that all participants must register, regardless of age, and youth must be accompanied by an adult.

    Proceeds from this event directly support programs that promote mental health awareness and encourage physical activity for kids in your community, helping them build resilience, confidence, and healthy habits that last a lifetime.
