Aug. 21, 2011: Challenge yourself at the Big Wild Life Runs

Run or walk anything from a 2K with kids to a marathon. Register online by Wednesday, Aug. 17. A team-building opportunity exists with the Bear Tooth Marathon Relay--4 team members run legs from 6 to 8 miles. Or keep it flat by cruising the streets of downtown in the Snow City Cafe 5K.

This is the only fundraising event of the Anchorage Running Club (ARC) a 501c3 dedicated to promoting community fitness initiatives through running and walking. The ARC also supports the UAA Athletic Foundation. It's a healthy way to start off the school year!
