From the Organizer
Get ready for the sixth annual Moose Loop Trail Challenge—your summer-long excuse to explore Anchorage’s amazing urban trails that (yes, really!) loop around the city in the shape of a moose!
Whether you run, walk, bike, or roll, this un-timed, all-ages, all-abilities adventure is your chance to enjoy the great outdoors at your own pace—on the Moose Loop in Anchorage or wherever you are. It’s not just a celebration of trails, it’s a feel-good fundraiser for the Anchorage Park Foundation, and the perfect way to stay active and connected all summer long.
