From the Organizer
A fun and free 5k challenge for all ConocoPhillips employees sponsored by the Alaska New Hire Network! The course will be an out-and-back route along the Coastal Trail. This event is an open start format. You may start any time between 11:00am and 2:00pm and the course will remain open until 2:30pm. Registration is open until the day of the event (July 8th).
The race will be timed, but runners/joggers/walkers of all skill levels are encouraged to participate. The race will begin at Elderberry Park (1297 W 5th Ave, Anchorage, AK 99501), which is walking distance from the COP tower. There is no provided transportation to and from the park, so you're encouraged to use the short walk from the tower as a warmup. Small snacks and beverages will be provided at the start/finish location.
Bib pickup will be available at Barny Dogah’s office (ATO-1434) during business hours or on race day at the start location.
