Upcoming Race: Arctic Warrior Half Marathon--July 25, 2009. My name is Barron Brittingham, and I’m in charge of setting up the first-ever Arctic Warrior Half Marathon. It will be held on Elmendorf AFB on 25 July 2009. It will be open to Elmendorf/Ft Rich military and local area civilians, and as our time frame is very short, I’m doing my best to get the word out. The route is very scenic, there will be food booths at the finish line (which is currently planned to be on the Elmendorf AFB flight line), and there will be prizes for the Top 3 Men/Women. The race fee is $10, and all proceeds go toward covering the cost of the race with any additional funds going toward Elmendorf AFB Company Grade Officers’ Council charities. There is a 5K run for those who are looking for a shorter option. Runners can register at active.com. Registration closes July 15.
