  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.

  Message from the RunFest Race Directors

  For 16 years, we’ve shared miles, cheers, and unforgettable triumphs with you. Through challenges and celebrations, your support has kept RunFest strong, and we are grateful for every runner, volunteer, and supporter who makes this event possible.

  Anchorage RunFest is more than a race—it’s a tradition that celebrates resilience, health, and community spirit. With distances for everyone—from the United Physical Therapy 49K Ultra and Humpy’s Marathon and Relay, Half Marathon, 5K, and Kids’ events—there’s a place for all runners at our start lines.

  We can’t wait to see you in August 2026, ready to train, run, and create new memories together!
