SHOUT OUTS
Thanks to all our patrons and everyone in the Runcation Nation for your support and encouragement. Because of you, we have been able to keep the show going over the last two years, and now that the races are returning, we look forward to meeting up with you, too!
Congratulations to Darlene from our crew, who ran the Bridge of the Gods Half Marathon this weekend! A hot and hilly race achievement indeed, Darlene.
In addition, congrats to everyone we know and love from the Donna Marathon Weekend Crew - Andi, Amanda, Donna and her husband Tim, and Babs, to name a few - who ran the Beach to Beacon 10K.
Bonus shout out to Babs, who ran that plus the DC Superhero 10K in the New England area with Fitz Koehler from Team Noisy on the mic! That looked like such a fun time!

RUN
The Anchorage RunFest is one of our favorite race weekends. While we can’t go this year, we wanted the Runcation Nation to hear from their voluntary crew about this fun weekend and why it should be on your list of must-do races. There are pre-race events like a movie night to kick off this fun weekend and an easy-to-navigate expo. Saturday’s events include a Women’s, Men’s, Military, and Community Mile, and the pasta feed with one of our favorite speakers and Marathon World Record Holder for double amputees, Marko Cheseto. Sunday’s longer events start in the heart of downtown Anchorage and showcase some of the great trails of this city. This weekend has something for everyone!
Rebecca from the Anchorage RunFest social media team sat down with us to talk about the weekend and why Anchorage is a city everyone should visit during this running festival.
