A part of what makes Alaska Pacific University an amazing place is the environment in which the University resides! The Bog & Forest run helps to celebrate Orientation weekend by welcoming our new community into our amazing trail system and bringing back current students and APU Alum. A part of what helps to keep APU healthy, fit and active is our outdoors programs, Moseley Sports Center and Nordic Ski Center. As leaders and healthy heroes in our community, our APU Nordic Elite Team and Olympians will be leading the run for our community.
