Pink flamingos and a meaningful cause: Alaska Run for Women takes off in its return to in-person festivities

Carol Butler was in Montana last July for a meeting when she discovered the lump. A breast cancer survivor nearly three decades before, she knew almost immediately what tests would later confirm.

“I felt a big lump and cording and I went, ‘That seems angry and it’s not something I’ve ever felt before,’ ” Butler said. “Within 30 days, I knew I had cancer.”

Experiences like Butler’s have been shared by hundreds of women in Alaska and millions throughout the nation.

On Saturday, many of those women congregated on the campus of the University of Alaska Anchorage for the 30th annual Alaska Run for Women.

The run, which raises money for and awareness of breast cancer and women’s health, had over 3,500 participants and raised $157,000, according to organizers. This year marked its return to an in-person format — with virtual options chosen by 1,200 participants — since the start of the pandemic. Including virtual registrants, all 50 states were represented in this year’s Alaska Run for Women.

Butler, 71, was there with her cohort of 15 teammates called Breast Friends Forever, participating in the 1-mile untimed run/walk. She is less than a month removed from her final radiation treatment.

“You know, I’m starting to come back,” she said. “My energy yesterday, three weeks after radiation finished, was the very first day that I felt like myself, and I feel great today. And I’m sure that the energy from all the women and the men here and all the support is part of that.”

Butler’s first diagnosis came when she was 41 years old. She now knows that she carries the BRCA1 gene, making her especially susceptible to cancer.

“I had excellent doctors that had an excellent team,” she said, “Interestingly enough, my first bout 30 years ago, my surgeon was Dr. Laurie Bleicher and she’s still working and she was my surgeon again. That’s amazing.”

The meeting Butler was attending in Montana was her first as a board member for Casting for Recovery, an organization that “provides healing outdoor retreats for women with breast cancer.”

Casting for Recovery has fly-fishing retreats nationwide, including two in Alaska — on the Kenai Peninsula and in Ketchikan. This year the group, which is in its 26th year, received funding through the Alaska Run for Women grant program.

In early 2021, Butler was asked to be a national trustee on the board for the organization, which sponsors 14 women per retreat completely free of charge. They are open to any women in treatment or recovery.

“Not only do the women walk away changed by the experience and enriched and with information and the lifetime friendships, but the guides are begging to be guides the following year,” she said. “They have life-changing experiences too. It’s an amazing organization.”

There is no official entry fee, but participants are asked to donate what they can. Organizers say that detail was included in the charter so there is no barrier for participation. The run keeps 70% of funds raised for in-state programs and donations with no more than 30% going to grants outside Alaska.

One of the Alaska Run for Women’s trademarks is participants’ creative pink outfits and team names as well as the decorated port-a-potties. After being staged for years at Sullivan Arena, this was the run’s first year on and around the UAA campus.

Butler touted the resources and funding that the Run for Women helps access, but said the most important thing it provides is a platform for providing emotional support to women with cancer and in recovery.

“For a survivor it’s hard to describe how comforting that support is,” she said. “It’s hard too for anybody else to understand that on a visceral level that survivors understand that this community comes together. I love that.”

The community is what keeps 5-mile timed race winner Rosie Brennan coming back. The two-time Olympian also runs for Team USA teammate Kikkan Randall, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018. Randall was still in remission as of earlier this year.

“I don’t do much summer racing and this is one I’ve kept on because it’s such a cool community event,” Brennan said. “I’m gone all winter and it honestly sucks because I don’t get to be with my community and the people that support me. It’s important for me to do a couple events where I can be with all of the community, and this one is so cool. And of course it’s special because of Kikkan and everything she went through with her breast cancer diagnosis.”

Brennan edged past runner-up Anna Dalton in their ongoing back-and-forth battle at the run. Dalton won the 2019 race, the last time it was held in person. In 2018, Brennan narrowly beat Dalton to take the win.

Skiing for the APU Nordic Elite Team, Brennan has plenty of familiarity with the trails she ran on Saturday. She finished her race in 28 minutes, five seconds.

“APU is right there, so I’ve spent a lot of time on these trails,” she said. “Usually roller-skating but I know all the cracks and the corners and everything else.”

The battle continues for Anchorage’s Tammy Bilak, who describes herself as a “metastatic breast cancer fighter” after two bouts with cancer in 2016 and 2020. She’s still on treatment and says she will continue to be for the rest of her life.

“When one stops working, I start a new one,” she said. “Just keep grabbing into the tool belt.”

She is a co-captain for the Chugach Alaska team, which she said raised $18,000 as of Friday night, making them one of the most prolific fundraisers. She’s also involved in the Anchorage Young Cancer Coalition.

“They have got grants for the Alaska Run for Women in the past, and I’ve also been a participant of that,” she said.

Like many runners Saturday, she had a family member running alongside. In Bilak’s case it was her sister Mari Lammer.

June Krause credits the Run for Women for motivating her to stay fit — a charge she has taken to the next level since her first run in 2009.

“I’ve always wanted to be more active,” she said. “Alaska Run for Women was my first race, then I just progressed to marathons.”

The Book Babes team was running for Cindy Holderith, a teammate who is a cancer survivor and the Bartlett High School librarian as well as a member of their book club, Book and Cook.

The trio of Anchorage’s Angie Schleyer, Jessy Hilliard of Palmer and Andrea Morrow of Wasilla were Run for Joy team members all wearing flamingo inflatable outfits as part of their team uniform. It was all part of a plot to slow down the race, according to Schleyer, who had participated in a number of runs with the speedy Hilliard.

“She always asks me to run,” Schleyer said of Hilliard. “I said yes, but I know if we dress in costumes we can’t run very fast. I know it’s a guaranteed fun walk.”
