The Experience

Ketchikan's first half marathon will use the alternate route again in 2026, starting and ending at Potlach Park!  Runners, walkers and relay teams will begin at Potlatch Park and follow the mapped route for 13.1 miles and finish back at Potlatch Park.  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.
