Snow Globe Run

About the Event

Race Location

Whether you run, walk, snowshoe, or just stand and cheer, you are invited to participate in the Snow Globe Run on Saturday, December 12, 2026, on Campbell Creek Trail behind the Peanut Farm restaurant at 11:00 AM. **Not sure about running in the snow? Try our snowshoe race that will start at 11:15am!**

There will be a Zoo Critters themed costume contest beginning at 10:15 a.m., before the start of the race, for those wanting to dress in costume. Prizes, complements of the Peanut Farm, will be given for best, Male, Female, and Group costumes.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Alaska Zoo.

Due to insurance requirements, dogs are not allowed at this event, and we ask that you leave them at home. Due to anticipated snow on the course strollers are discouraged but if you decide to participate with a stroller we ask that you start in the back.

Race Partner

The Anchorage Running Club is partnering with the Alaska Zoo for this race.  A portion of the race fee proceeds, as well as all online donations will be donated to the Alaska Zoo. After the Snow Globe race runners can enjoy daytime admission to the Alaska Zoo by presenting the tear-off from their race bib. Offer valid during regular daytime hours only; Zoo Lights not included.
