Last April 27, 2013, Saturday, James Team Real Estate together with other 5,000 runners and walkers joined the Alaska Heart Run 2013 - the largest 5K race in Alaska. Participants travel from across the state to participate in this fundraising event benefiting American Heart Association which raises funds for the research and education to fight against heart disease and stroke - the number 1 and 4 killer in the US.
The race began and finished in University of Alaska Anchorage Fine Arts Building Parking Lot. The event started at 9:30am.The event has raised a record of $240,000 surpassing its goal of $195,000, according to Lisa Sauder, Alaska's executive director of the American Heart Association.Top 5 overall winners of the Alaska Heart Run 2013 are 1. Alfred Kangogo 14:53; 2. Jake Moe 14:53; 3. Micah Chelimo 15:01; 4. David Kipligat 15:43; 5. Sam Tilly 15:46.It's truly amazing to see thousands of people gather to contribute their time and energy for a good cause. They ran, they donated, they raised money and they got their family, friends and coworkers to donate to fight against heart disease and stroke.
