Trent Waldron Half Marathon & 10K

The Trent Waldron Half Marathon and 10K takes place in Anchorage, Alaska, in late May. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 9:00 a.m. and the 10K follows at 9:20 a.m. Anchorage in late spring offers long daylight hours, which makes a mid-morning start comfortable for most runners.

Spring weather in southcentral Alaska can be cool and changeable, with frost in the early morning or rain showers, so bring layers you can remove at the start line. Runners from warmer or lower places should allow time to adjust to the cooler air, and anyone stepping up to 13.1 miles should have several long training runs behind them before race week.
