Scotty Gomez 5K Run

Scotty Gomez 5K Run or Walk is a charity event held in Anchorage, Alaska, along the Ship Creek trail near downtown.

The course offers a 5K distance for runners or walkers, making it inclusive for participants of all speeds.

The atmosphere is community-focused, with participants encouraged to wear hockey or sports jerseys. A notable feature is the more than 70 door prizes from local businesses, with raffle tickets available at the start of the race.
