Bonny Sosa Tuesday Night Race Series
Thank you for participating in the 2009 Bonnie Sosa Tuesday Night Race Series. See the overall winners listed at the bottom on the page. We would like to have your feedback on this years event. Please take a moment to fill out the survey and let us know how your race experience was
For many Anchorage families, the Tuesday Night Race Series is a fall family tradition. These fun runs are like no other in Anchorage. Come rain, snow, sleet, hail or wind, these races are not cancelled. Whether you are a competitive runner or just want to get out and see a new trail or meet new friends, this is the event for you. Three separate race courses are set each week at a different location around town. Local runners often volunteer as guest course setters and some have gained a reputation of setting unique routes. While the Munchkin and Farm Leagues usually stay on heavily used trails, the Lightning League is a different story. Lightning courses have been known to follow narrow game trails, cross streams, and slog through swamps. The race course will be revealed to no one until just prior to the start. ALL DOGS MUST BE KEPT ON A LEASH. IF YOUR DOG DOES THEIR DOOTY, YOU NEED TO DO YOUR DUTY BY CLEANING UP AFTER THEM. ALSO, BE AWARE OF THOSE AROUND YOU, DON'T TAKE UP THE ENTIRE TRAIL. Interested in volunteering, contact timmermanma@muni.org.

Registration
Avoid the race day sign up frenzy. Register in advance! Alaska Regional Hospital has generously donated fleece hats to the first 600 people who register on line for adult or family season passes. Hats will be available at the first race. You can register at any one of the recreation facilities (Fairview Recreation Center, Spenard Recreation Center, Selkregg Chalet or Kincaid Outdoor Center). Season passes will be issued for those purchasing adult or family. Pre-registrants names will be on a master list which will make your check in time faster. Race day sign-ups begin at 5:30p and end at 6:15p. Races start at 6:30pm. Get an early start and register on-line @ Active.com.

*Most of you know that someone in the area kept tearing down the course markers. The Wheatall's graciously went out several times during the day to reset the course each time they were notified they had been torn down. Race results do not reflect those individuals whose times are faster or slower then normal.
