Northwest Regional Conference in Alaska

The Northwest Regional Conference will be held from Aug 3 thru 8 on the campus of the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA). During that period there will be eleven sanctioned Volkssports events including a 300-meter swim, two 28-46 km bike rides, seven 5-6 km walks, and eight 10-12 km walks.

Housing will be in the residence suites of North Hall on campus and several meals will be served at the conference headquarters at UAA Commons.  Housing will be $224 per person for 5 nights and meals on campus will be $111 for the “Meet ‘n’ Greet Social”, five breakfasts, two box lunches, and two dinners. These are all-you-care-to-eat meals. Reservations will be done on-line with UAA.

The Conference fee is $300 per person and includes admissions to all venues, bus transportation both within Anchorage and to the outlying areas we will be visiting, two special banquet meals, custom-designed conference T-shirt, choice of hat or visor, and an embroidered patch, plus miscellaneous printing and supplies.
