13.99 Miles Run Trail Walk

And so it starts - The Southeast Slosh!

Join us for Ketchikan Running Club's Second Annual Trail Half Marathon on Saturday July 11th. The race will start and finish at Ward Lake and incorporate surrounding trails including Perseverance Lake Trail, Ward Creek Trail, Pipeline and Salvage. There will be 4 aide stations along the route. All racers will have 5 hours to finish the race. (That is about a 21:30 minute mile - plenty of time for walkers!) After the cut-off time, racers can finish the course, however aide station support and finish line celebration cannot be guaranteed.

Cost is $50 (+ processing fee), $45 for Ketchikan Running Club Members

Individual runners, as well as relay teams (up to 4 runners in a team), are welcome to register. Each team is responsible for determining where they will start and finish each leg of the relay.

Bib pick-up will be at the Ketchikan Rec Center - Friday, July 10th from 5-7 PM. There will be registration at Ward Lake, but it will be cash only.

Please follow trail etiquette, stay on the trail, please don't litter, be respectful of other trail users, and have fun!

Ketchikan Running Club has been granted a Special Use Permit through the Tongass National Forest Service to make this race possible

    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.
