Description
And so it starts - The Southeast Slosh!
Join us for Ketchikan Running Club's Second Annual Trail Half Marathon on Saturday July 19th. 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), $40 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 18th from 3-7 PM
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**
