2027 Trent Waldron Glacier Half Marathon

The Trent Waldron Glacier Half Marathon is a beloved Anchorage tradition, now in its 20th year. Each summer, around 177 runners gather for a race that draws participants from 16 states and counting. About a quarter of the field returns year after year, a testament to the race's warm community spirit.

Organized by the Anchorage Running Club, the half marathon and accompanying 10K offer a chance to experience Alaska's rugged beauty. While details of the course are kept intentionally low-key, the 'Glacier' name hints at the stunning views runners can expect. The finish line buzzes with a small-town celebration that keeps locals coming back.

With a modest but growing field, the event strikes a rare balance: intimate enough to feel like a gathering of friends, yet organized enough to deliver a seamless race day experience.
