The half marathon course is an out and back along the Chester Creek and University trails. The route is described as relatively flat with a gradual uphill on the outbound portion. Aid stations are located at miles 3, 5.5, 7.5, and 10. The 10K uses the same start and finish area with a turnaround adjacent to the Davenport Park ball fields just east of the Lake Otis underpass. The half marathon course is USATF certified under number AK25002FW.
Virtual participants may run on a course of their choice and are asked to follow pedestrian safety rules, including using sidewalks where available and following the rules of the road; medals for virtual entries are mailed within 45 days. Bib pickup is scheduled for May 27 with additional pickup race morning at Westchester Lagoon. Late registration fees apply after May 21, 2027. Entry fees are non refundable and non transferable.
The event benefits the Anchorage Young Cancer Coalition. Personal pacers without a bib and personal bike leads are not permitted. Dogs are not allowed and strollers are permitted but should start at the back. Awards for top three male and female finishers use an age graded calculation. The race was first held in 1996 and adopted its current name in 2017 to honor two people who were killed while running in 1995. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
