Fairbanks Daily News-Miner Midnight Sun Run
-
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner Midnight Sun Run is a uniquely Alaskan event, attracting participants from all over the world. The race begins at 10PM on the Saturday closest to the summer solstice. Starting at the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus, participants wind 6.2 miles through area neighborhoods lined with thousands of high-spirited spectators. The course ends at Pioneer Park, where the festivities continue until well after midnight. The race is chip timed, with an elite runner corral that allows serious runners a place at the head of the race, while also supporting every pace and ability. The costumed division is perhaps one of the most anticipated aspects of the race, showcasing true Fairbanks creativity. Proceeds from the race support the mission of Fairbanks Resource Agency (fra-alaska.org) and the Paula Kothe Scholarship Awards, which gives four $1500 scholarships to local student athletes.
