    Grab your green and gold and RUN your Shamrocks off!

    It's time to click those heels and chase the gold at the end of the rainbow. You even get to press your luck and see if you can’t beat our Leprechaun to the finish!

    Run the, now iconic, Shamrock Course and celebrate St. Paddy's Day with your friends as we continue to support Running Free Alaska!

    Warm up pre-race in the Bear Tooth! They will be serving Grab-N-Go breakfast burritos starting at 8:30 a.m. and their full menu starting at 10:00 a.m. Once you get done with the run, you can cool down with your favorite Broken Tooth Beverage, so make sure to bring your ID.

    Each participant gets a fresh beanie, a killer pint glass, a coupon for one Broken Tooth beverage anytime on race day, and an option to purchase a hip shirt. One lucky participant will even get to find out how much they weigh in Bear Tooth beverage. A moment, no one wants to miss!

    Going virtual, it's still your lucky day! You’ll get your beanie, pint glass, a gift card to Bear Tooth to indulge later, and an option to purchase that hip shirt.

    We are excited to cover the streets in green and gold to help raise money for Running Free Alaska. Come join us as we kick off the 2026 race season. We’ve got lots more details to come, so stay tuned to updates!

    Shake off winter and charge into spring at the Eklutna Lake IceBreaker Run, a lakeside trail race that delivers all the beauty, and all the chaos, of Alaska in March. Set along the frozen shoreline of Eklutna Lake, this out-and-back adventure offers 10-mile and 20-mile courses on one of Chugach State Park’s most scenic corridors.

    Runners will stride (or crunch, or slide) across the lakeside trail as it winds alongside the frozen water of Eklutna Lake. And since we all know March in Alaska refuses to pick a season, you can expect a full sampler of winter conditions: packed snow, punchy snow, ice sheets, mashed-potato mush, muddy patches, unexpected sunshine, maybe even that perfect “winter glow” light that makes you forget your toes are cold for exactly half a second. Whatever the weather, this race is sure to breathe some life back into you after another long Alaska winter.

    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.
