In-Person Event Guidelines

The Alaska Run for Women is committed to providing a safe and positive experience for all participants. Please note the safety policies below. These are in addition to the policies outlined in the event waiver signed during registration.

BabyStrollers/Joggers

The Alaska Run for Women welcomes participation of all ages, and we love to see women participating with little ones. Our event is covered by insurance through the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA). We are required to adhere to its policies. The RRCA policy for baby strollers states:

~ The inclusion of strollers in races increases the
potential for injury to race participants and children. 

~ If allowed in a race, strollers should be started at the back of the runners and walkers. An additional waiver accepting the responsibility for injury up to death of a child in a stroller should be signed by a participant pushing a stroller.

For safety and insurance requirements, those participating with a baby stroller or jogger must walk the course. No running with strollers and joggers is allowed. Baby strollers and joggers must line up behind all runners/walkers at both the 5-mile and 1-mile untimed starts. Look for the pink STROLLERS flags at the race start!

Bicycles/Roller Blades/Motorized Scooters/Skateboards

Participation on bikes, roller blades, motorized scooters, skateboards and the like is prohibited.

Pets

We love our four legged friends, but for the safety of our participants and spectators, no dogs or other pets are allowed on the course or event venue.

Service animals are permitted and must be under the control of their handler at all times.
