The Bonny Sosa Tuesday Night Races continued this week at 6:30 p.m. with separate courses for kids and adults covering distances from 1 to 12 kilometers on Anchorage trails.

These regular sessions form a steady part of local training routines in a city that maintains over 130 miles of maintained trails for running and outdoor fitness.

Mayor's Midnight Sun Marathon Results Stand From Late June

The Mayor's Midnight Sun Marathon took place in late June 2026 and regularly sells out with its marathon, half marathon and 5K options serving as Anchorage's marquee road race.

That event provided the most recent large-scale results before the current weekly schedule took center stage in mid-July.

RunFest Preparations Advance for August 15-16

Attention now shifts to Anchorage RunFest scheduled for August 15-16 2026 which marks the 30th anniversary of the Humpy's Marathon and serves as the largest running event and main fundraiser for the Anchorage Running Club.

The program includes races ranging from 1 mile to 49 kilometers with a marathon, half marathon, 5K, Kids' 2K Fun Run and 49K ultra race all on the card.

Additional long-distance options on the broader calendar include the Crow Pass Crossing at 22.5 miles and the Eklutna Equinox Marathon set for September.

Participants can review registration and course details through the Anchorage RunFest site and related listings at runsignup.com and anchoragerunfest.org ahead of the next major weekend.
