Tina Torun
Anchorage, Alaska
Hi everyone, I am Tina! I have been involved with the RAAWC since the beginning and am honored to be an ambassador again! I am a runner and very involved in the community. You will see me at local races, either running or volunteering. This year, I have had a few setbacks, coming back from injury, and the Trifecta Fitness Challenge always keeps me motivated to stay active. I like to inspire and motivate others to get outside to enjoy our state. I enjoy meeting other racers in the community and stay connected with my friends from out of state as well.
My long term goal is to run a half or full in all 50 states, so far 40 states and counting. I have run 93 half marathons and 17 marathons. Hopefully, by next year I will have done 100 half marathons. My team name is Team Ididarun and we welcome all that want to join us!
You don't have to run. Let's go!

Carey Quiring
Palmer, Alaska
Hi! I’m Carey and I’ve been a participant in the Race Across Alaska from the beginning. Now I’ve been an ambassador for a few years.
I’ve always been a seasonal runner and Race Across Alaska inspired me to keep moving during the winter months. With the continued training in the off season I have been able to pursue ultra running (any distance over 26.2 miles). The longest I’ve run has been a 100k (62.137 miles). On Oct. 3 I will be stepping up to the start line of a 100 mile race. My goal is to cross the finish line. Who knows what the next goal may be. I just know that the Trifecta Fitness will help me to accomplish my goals.
Looking forward to all the miles ahead and hopefully some will be with you!

Suzanne Bassett
North Pole, Alaska
Hi, my name is Suzanne.
I live in the Fairbanks area with my wife and 2 kids (4+6 yr old boys). Life gets busy between work life and family life - so I love having the Trifecta Fitness Challenge as a way to keep me motivated and accountable to myself. I see workouts as ME time - sometimes this is solo me time, intentional 1:1 time with good friends, or bigger groups for social interaction with adults. All of these make me a better me and in turn a more focused employee, a better momma, and a more supportive wife.
I’m hoping to do a lot of my minutes and miles outside this year (🤞 for a warmer winter!) but when weather forces me inside I turn to the warm pool at Alaska Club and the Zwift community.
I’m looking forward to being an ambassador this year and hosting team #AdventurousM&M’s to find adventure in all the minutes and miles.
Misty Holacka
Fairbanks, Alaska
Hey hi helloooo!!! I am Misty and am super excited to be a part of this AGAIN!!! I am in Fairbanks with Suzanne and Lael and this year I’m excited to be more active. I love peloton. It is truly my antidepressant in the wintertime here, as movement is medicine. I’m an avid weightlifter, cyclist and love walks. I don’t have a lot of workout photos because my paparazzi is often still sleeping.
I’m pumped for our group to psych others up!!
Lael Oldmixon
Fairbanks, Alaska
I'm thrilled to be joining as a second year ambassador. The Trifecta Challenge has been incredibly motivating, especially the RAAWC during the winter months. Any day that involves fitness, wellness, and movement is a perfect day. Sometimes fitness looks like a 30 minute workout. And other days it may be a quick walk with the dogs, or a winter fat bike ride with my husband.
I’ve run many distance running races. I enjoy hiking, camping, rafting, walking slowly with friends, skiing, and most of all, group fitness. My mantra is completion over competition. I think that says a lot about me. I will set a goal and work to accomplish it not for a first place podium, but to know I can achieve my own goals.
I teach indoor cycling 3x weekly with my husband at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. This was a new adventure in 2024 and I’m delighted that it has become a fixture in my fitness routine.
Looking forward to meeting you!
