Come out and enjoy the arctic spring with us!

The Kobuk 440 and City of Kotzebue have partnered to host a Fun Run Picnic!

We’ll have hot dogs, lemonade, and chips for everyone, as well as the chance for 6-12 year olds to get on the runners and mush a two dog team.

Parents/Guardians must be present for children to participate. All participants will be entered into a raffle for a kid’s sled! Kids can sign up on the ice when they get there.

Saturday 4/18 at 1:30pm on the ice in front of the Post Office.
