Weekly 5K races & kids fun runs in July & August

Professional runner Allie Ostrander started Salmon Run Series as her Caring for the Kenai project in 2012. Allie’s incredible determination got this great race series started, and we are proud to host the Salmon Run Series today with the same spirit that Allie brought when she started it. With over 100 runners participating regularly, the Salmon Run Series has a central spot on the local running calendar with 5Ks and Fun Runs each Wednesday. Curious about what Allie is up to today?
