Fahrenheit Be Darned is a winter training series sponsored by RCN to give people the opportunity and incentive to keep running throughout the winter in Fairbanks. We readily admit that it is often the case that we look at the current temperature and think we’ll just wait until tomorrow to do that run we were thinking about. But we also know that getting out in the middle of an Alaskan winter is easier when we know there will be other like-minded and similarly-impaired people who will be there to run no matter what the weather. So if you’re looking for motivation to keep you running through the winter, come join us in the UAF Patty Center lobby every Wednesday evening at 5:45pm from October through March. We will have a run planned no matter what the weather and whatever the holiday schedule.

Route Maps

    No route available... yet!

    We will likely determine a route on the day. This can happen due to heavy snowfall or super cold temperatures. We will then collectively plan a route depending on conditions at the time.

    Install as App

    You can install this as an app on your device! Instead of bookmarking the web page, you can just click the app button that will be installed and it will open in it's own window/screen. You currently must have an internet connection to do anything with the app, but we're working on an offline mode where you can at least view the maps. How you install the app depends on what platform you are on (windows, mac, ios, android) and what browser you are using. Follow the outline below and let us know if you have a case we haven't covered.

    1. Chromium-based browser: If you are using a chromium browser such as google chrome, microsoft edge, opera, brave, you should see an Install App button below. Click that and you will get a prompt from the browser to install this page as an app. Click Install and you will see a new icon on your desktop or your home screen.


    2. iOS: Unfortunately, iOS does not support this so you'll need to add the app manually no matter what browser you use. It's actually pretty simple. Click on the share icon in the url field. It looks like a box with an arrow pointing up. Click on the View More button and scroll down to Add to Home Screen. You can change the title that appears on the home screen button or accept the default EQX SETs. Click Add. The button has been added to your home screen.

    3. Android: If you don't see the Install App button above, you'll need to install it manually. Open Google Chrome on your Android device. Go to the website or PWA you want to install. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the browser. Tap either Install app or Add to Home screen from the dropdown menu. Confirm by tapping Install or Add on the prompt.

    4. Other: Some browsers, such as Firefox, don't support installing apps without adding an extension first. If you don't want to do that, you can use a different browser. If all else fails, do a search for how to install Progressive Web Apps (PWA) with your browser. Something like "how to install pwa in [browser]" should get you there.

    That should do it. Once you've installed it as an app, you don't have to do anything more. Just use the button on your device and that's it.
