Anchorage United Nations Run 2026
The Anchorage United Nations Run on Saturday, September 26, 2026, is a community fundraiser held at Westchester Lagoon in Anchorage, Alaska. The event offers two distances along the coastal trail and is open to participants who wish to celebrate the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Anchorage School District and the wider community.
Organizers are the MIR Parents working with other language immersion programs in the Anchorage School District. Proceeds support Anchorage School District language immersion programs by funding classroom and library materials, after-school K-6 learning programs, cultural events, and a student exchange program.
Distances:
- 2K recreational run
- 5K recreational run
Entry fees are listed by age group: adults pay $35 for either distance; children aged 5 years and older pay $15; children under 5 run for free. A family discount applies when five or more are registered, reducing the price for each child to $10. Community businesses and organizations support the event as sponsors, and volunteers and local groups contribute to race operations and event support.
The course follows the coastal trail near Westchester Lagoon and emphasizes cultural celebration and language immersion program fundraising rather than competitive outcomes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
