APU Bog & Forest Run
The APU Bog & Forest Run is a community trail event at Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage, AK, held on 08/23/2026 and organized by APU Nordic Ski Center. The course uses sections of the Mahaffey trail system and nearby bog areas, combining forest trail running with muddy terrain in places.

Two race options are offered:
- 3 km Bog Run, which goes through muddy sections and includes a Muddiest Runner recognition.
- 5 km Forest Run, a loop through the historic Mahaffey trails that avoids boggy sections.
