Baby Strollers/Joggers/Roller Blades/Pets

Baby strollers and joggers must line up behind all runners at both the 5-mile and 1-mile starts. The baby stroller/jogger is a non-competitive event. Stroller participants should consider participating in the 1-mile or 5-mile untimed events, starting at the very back of either event.

No roller blades, wagons or pets allowed.

Male Participation in the Alaska Run for Women
The Alaska Run for Women has a dual mission to raise money for and awareness of breast cancer, and to provide a competition venue for Alaska's women athletes.

There are several ways for all family members and friends to support the event and the breast cancer cause:

1.  Become a Phantom Donor.  Monies raised go directly toward research and breast cancer awareness programs throughout Alaska.  Donate  today online.

2.  Volunteer.  Hundreds of volunteers are needed to successfully organize the event. Volunteer today by contacting volunteer@akrfw.org or sign up online.

3.  Male members of the community who have been diagnosed with breast cancer can enter the survivor division as untimed participants.  Register online!

4. Men who are walking or running with someone officially entered in the run are asked not to register or cross the finish line. Males cannot participate as competitive entrants, but are encouraged to support the run and its mission in other ways.

This policy is not intended to exclude anyone, but to ensure a meaningful experience and accurate results for women competitors who challenge themselves from the front, middle and back of the pack.

Thank you for supporting the Alaska Run for Women and its efforts in the fight against breast cancer.
