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.

This 44-acre historical theme park straddles the line somewhere between kitschy and charming, with lots of historical buildings and interpretive displays. During summer, the park comes alive with an evening salmon bake, local shops, small museums including a historical stern-wheel paddleboat, and a life-size model train that chugs around the grounds. Admission to the park is free, but some of the activities within come with a charge. You can still explore the park during the winter, and it's sometimes used to host special events.
