Good morning, Anchorage.

Local publisher Northern Light Media releases Helen Hegener's detailed book on the Iditarod Trail, covering its shifts from native usage through the gold rush era and early mail service to the iconic race revival.

The 414-page volume blends firsthand accounts & visuals to enrich understanding of Alaska’s cultural history.

Downtown Anchorage hosted its annual Pride Parade on Saturday during Pride Month and the end of Pride Week.

The event featured rainbow flags, over 60 groups, and 100 vendors while honoring community elders as grand marshals (a nod to their pioneering efforts).

Alaska Safe Riders held a safety course on June 27 for young ATV riders to learn basic riding and hill techniques.

Mike Buck said the training—vital to boosting safety—comes amid a state ATV fatality rate that was four times higher than the national rate.

At West Anchorage High School, more than 300 teens joined the three-day Alaska Solstice Football Camp where current and former NFL players guided drills and shared stories to inspire future college athletes.

Camp organizers expanded the event to include all positions after last year's smaller turnout.

Iditarod race sign-ups are open now and the founder’s great-grandson has registered for the historic dog sled race; more details on registration will be shared soon.
