Twilight 12K
About this race
A Fabulous Friday Night in May!
Take Bands, Bear Tooth, and Beer, sprinkle in a little running or a great walk and we're talking about the best way to get summer going!
Join your families, friends, and your local ravens for the most fun you can have on a First Friday!
Taking place on one of the most unique courses in Anchorage, we close down the A/C St bridge for a scenic lap around Government Hill. Then traverse Downtown Anchorage, the Coastal Trail, Westchester Lagoon, with bands to serenade you along the way!
Finish the night at the Rose Garden with music, satisfy your hunger with Bear Tooth wraps, and wash it all down some Broken Tooth beverage.
You'll get a t-shirt you'll wear for years, Bear Tooth Grub and a refreshing Broken Tooth Beverage at the finish line.
Meet at Skinny Raven Downtown for the start of your event. Both distances start at 8th & H St. Cruise your course and finish at the Rose Garden on the Park Strip for all the post event fun! We will keep you updated on any changes via email and on the Event Page. Check the map on the event page for the course routes.
