Thousands set to race in 36th Heart Run on Saturday at UAA
The 36th running of one of the largest 5-K races in Alaska will take place at 9:30 a.m. Saturday starting -- and finishing -- at the University of Alaska Anchorage Fine Arts Building. Registration for the timed run ended on Friday, but you can still sign up for the untimed run (or walk) at the starting line on Saturday morning. Proceeds benefit the local American Heart Association. Go online to heartrun.kintera.org and see how much they're raising.

(Note, the second to last show is at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.)
