A runner’s lifeline…

Running Briefs is the cherished RCN newsletter that chronicles the Fairbanks running community. Initially edited by Bobbi (Fyten) Mattia and Monte Jordan in 1994, it has continued on and off over the years with several others at the helm, including Scott McCrea, Ned Rozell, Tracey Martinson, Matias Saari, Virginia Parrish, Andy Sterns, and Tamara Hall. Within these pages you will find stories to delight and inspire you. Read how several new events were developed, many of them continuing today. Read about experiences at outside races in the lower 48 and around the world. In the first issue, Allen Doyle called Running Briefs “a new runners’ lifeline for Fairbanks.” RCN continues as a lifeline between runners today, but the connection with the past is sometimes just as strong. Whether or not you know the people written about in these issues, you will enjoy reading through their stories, sharing their successes, and relating to their dedication.
