Day 169, 6/18/2011

A crowd of thousands gather every year around the summer solstice to run a 10k course through the west side of town starting at 10PM. 

The Midnight Sun Run is a celebration of the upcoming longest day of the year, and the days can’t get much longer up here because right now we’re at almost 22 hours of daylight. 

Some of the runners wear elaborate costumes, 

and the community gets involved as well, having block parties around every corner to watch and cheer the runners on.
