Event Description:
For over sixty years, the Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage has championed the outdoors, strengthened our community, and promoted healthy living across Anchorage. We are proud of our legacy—but we believe the best is yet to come.
Anchorage has the potential to be recognized around the world as a premier, year-round destination for outdoor adventure. By working together to invest in our trails, facilities, programs, and events, we can expand access to outdoor recreation for all. We can empower Alaskan athletes to pursue excellence on the world stage. And we can create vibrant events that energize our local economy and showcase Anchorage as a dynamic winter city.
This vision isn’t just about skiing—it’s about building a stronger, healthier, more connected community. Together, we can make Anchorage an even better place to live, work, and play—for generations to come.
Kikkan Randall is a five-time Olympian, Olympic gold medalist, and passionate advocate for physical fitness and healthy living. Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, she became a trailblazer in American cross-country skiing, making history with a gold medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Off the snow, Kikkan is a breast cancer survivor who has courageously shared her journey to inspire others with resilience, hope, and the importance of proactive health. Her strength through both athletic and personal challenges has made her a powerful role model and speaker.
She currently serves as the Executive Director of the Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage and is a board member of U.S. Ski & Snowboard. Previously, Kikkan held influential roles with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Ski Federation (FIS), helping shape the future of global sport.
A proud mom, leader, and lifelong advocate, Kikkan remains dedicated to empowering individuals and communities through sport, wellness, and perseverance.
