About the Event

Join us for a family fun run from Inlet View Elementary out along the Coastal Trail. This race has one downhill at the beginning along N Street and is flat after that! Set an early season PR or trot with along with the whole family. The Salmon Run is a great spring race to kick off your running season.

Inlet View Elementary is located in downtown Anchorage, and is one of the oldest, traditional neighborhood elementary schools in our town. Today, with money raised through events like the Salmon Run, we are able to provide reading tutoring, supplemental math programs, after-school Spanish classes, writing workshops, art, music and physical education assemblies as well as busses for field trips, scholarships, financial assistance for meals, and classroom support.

DAY OF BIB PICK-UP 8:30- 9:30am in the school gymnasium.

PARKING: The Anchorage Lutheran Church has generously opened their parking lot to us. The easiest way to access this lot is to take West 15th Avenue to O street and drive through the back alley (N. street will be closed for the race) From the church parking lot you can walk to the school less than a block away. Thanks to the Anchorage Lutheran Church for supporting our school and this community wide event.

See you Saturday, May 2nd at 10am!
