Humans and Reindeer Face Off in First-Ever Anchorage Race



With inspiration obviously rooted in Barcelona's running of the bulls comes Anchorage's take on the beloved sport. Hundreds of Alaskans filled in Fourth Avenue yesterday to watch 1,000 costumed runners scream and sprint alongside seven "bewildered" reindeer. Alaska's largest city's first-ever reindeer run went off without a hitch: no reindeer, runners or bystanders were harmed in the race.
