Welcome

Don’t forget - extended season starts tonight! Join us to welcome Coach Denali to MSRC! Denali grew up running around the trails near Seward, Alaska. She has pursued a racing career in many running disciplines: track, ultramarathon, and mountain. Denali has coaching experience for adults and children running programs. She has been the 5km coordinator for Girls on the Run Southcentral Alaska, volunteered for Nana Nordic and Healthy Futures, and led practice groups up Mount Marathon and Lost Lake. Denali and her family moved to the Government Peak area in 2022.
