The Big Wild Life Runs is an annual project held by the Anchorage Running Club, a not for profit organization, best known for its scholarship offers for young dedicated runners. It is considered by many as one of the most unique and beautiful running events in the country, causing numerous runners and walkers from all over the country travel to Anchorage and participate in the event.

Some people may think, why would you want to run around Alaska? Well, if you?ve already tried the Big Wildlife Runs, you?ll have an answer for that. The event is held in August, when the sun is out and the flowers are in bloom. In addition to this, the terrain is challenging and beautiful at the same time, a real charmer for those looking for something new.
