The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Patty Center serves as the start of the Midnight Sun Run, a fun 10k that encourages runners to wear costumes and spectators to cheer their lungs out. The race is run on the Saturday closest to the summer solstice and does happen late at night, although the faster runners will be done before midnight actually arrives.

The race course is run as a point-to-point, ending in Pioneer Park with a shuttle back to the starting point. But you can always run it out-and-back, or tackle just a portion of the course, if you're looking for some training.
