Run For Impact

Join us for a community 5K trail race dedicated to raising funds for Kuugaq, assisted by Kuuk Water.

The Run for Impact 5k is more than just a race—it’s an opportunity for individuals, families, and local businesses to come together in support of Kuuk Water’s mission to serve Alaskan communities. This event directly benefits Kuugaq's ongoing initiatives, including clean water access, community recycling programs, youth-focused services such as Kid’s Cupboard, and broader community improvement projects across Alaska.

Participants of all ages and abilities are encouraged to lace up and join the cause. The 5K distance is welcoming for beginners while still offering a rewarding challenge for experienced runners, creating a shared sense of accomplishment for everyone involved. By participating, you’re not only embracing a healthy and energizing activity—you’re helping provide essential resources, strengthen local communities, and support meaningful, on-the-ground projects that make a lasting difference throughout Alaska.

Race will take place on the Colony High School XC trails.

*All spectators and athletes will need to park outside of the gated stadium area*
