I enjoyed the mostly local, closed course with decent scenery. You run 8 miles on the Coastal Trail along the sound and the beginning and end along neighborhood streets with good police presence the middle is on a road the parallels the airport. Many rolling hills, water stops were great. Loved they had Skratch.
Medal was decent. Shirt was good and the food after top 3 for me. The cider in the garden was a nice add on with a pint glass included.
I stayed in Anchorage. Hotels are very expensive but many are walking distance to the start <1 mile. The later start 9am. Made it a little challenging to finish and get back to the hotel for noon checkout. There was a decent amount of parking near the start as well. Could of used a few more porta potties at the start. Did not see any along the race course!

First off, the website said “sunshine and fun times”… Lies! It was rainy! But I’ll give them a pass. Weather temp was still pretty decent.
-Route had a bit of an incline and ended on a hill (seems like all the Anchorage runs do). But it is Alaska. run started and ended in the same place, so that’s nice.
Swag consistes of the typical medal and short sleeve tech shirt. Also maurten gel was available at packet pickup.
Post race included a beer glass and Double Shovel cider. Also available was a box lunch.
