1.5 Miles Half Marathon Kids Run Virtual Walk

The KRC Kids Half Marathon is BACK! Hosted by KRC, this event encourages young runners to log miles virtually toward a half marathon distance of 13.1 miles. Each participant may enter miles they run or walk beginning April 11, 2026, ending with the final mile around Ward Lake on Saturday July 11, 2026 at 8:00am before the Southeast Slosh Half Marathon.

The KRC Kids Half Marathon is open to children 14 years and younger.

  • Participants may complete all 13.1 miles virtually. Virtual only finishers will be recognized with a social media post (with parent/guardian permission.)

  • Participants of the Final Mile event are not required to be part of the virtual portion and can participate without having logged any previous miles.

  • All participants of the Final Mile will receive a finisher's prize and there will be an additional give away for those who participate in the final mile event and have logged 12 or more miles in the virtual event by July 11, 2026.

    Ketchikan's first half marathon will hopefully return to its traditional route this year, beginning at Rotary Beach and ending at Potlach Park!

    Runners, walkers and relay teams will begin at Rotary Beach (Bugge's Beach) and follow Tongass Highway along the water side, 13.1 miles and finish at Potlatch Park.

    There is currently no major construction scheduled for Tongass Highway, so we are planning for the half marathon to follow the traditional coastal route along the highway from Rotary Beach, through beautiful downtown Ketchikan and ending north of town at Potlach Park. HOWEVER, construction activities are subject to change, and may disrupt the route again this year. If the route changes we will notify runners and walkers as soon as we are aware of changes. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding. Rest assured that regardless of Ketchikan construction, we will have a beautiful 13.1 mile Southeast Alaskan course with ocean and Totem views.

    The event is open to both runners and walkers and usually features a smaller field of participants, as the race usually sees between 100 and 200 runners and walkers cross the finish line. Aid stations, amenities and finish line swag will be available until 2:30 pm, which gives participants 5.5 hours to complete 13.1 miles, which equates to approx. 24 minute mile pace. For safety concerns, pets and strollers are not allowed at this event.
