ABOUT MATSU RUN CLUB
The MatSu Running Club (MSRC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to offering an educational and recreational running program for residents of the Mat-S Valley. Our mission is to create a healthy and enjoyable running experience for individuals of all skill levels.
We aim to inspire to set and achieve personal goals while enhancing their enjoyment of running. The season runs from April to August, with an extended period through September. Many runners participate to train for competitive races in Alaska, including marathons, iron man events, or destination races in the Lower 48, while others join the MSRC to maintain their fitness and connect with a community of and like-minded individuals.
