Trent Waldron Half Marathon & 10K

The Trent Waldron 10K & Half Marathon race on May 25, 2024 is fast and flat out and back course set in beautiful Anchorage, Alaska. Race start/finish is at Margaret Eagan Sullivan Park and winding along Chester Creek and the UMed District.

This is a terrific way to kick off Memorial Day weekend and your summer race season. Use Trent Waldron to train for a half marathon or a marathon race at Mayor’s Marathon or RunFest later in the year.

Trent Waldron Fund Raising Teams
For the first time we are going to have Fundraising Teams with the Trent Waldron race this year. Participants can create a team or join an existing team in RunSignUp. There will be a special award for these teams: Most Funds Raised and Most Team Members-see the photo of the beautiful glass art awards. Don't think you can run a Half Marathon or a 10K race right now? No problem, you can still join a team and help fund raise without registering for the race.  To join a Trent Waldron fund-raising team, click the DONATE Button and create or join an existing team.

Awards
All finishers receive a medal to commemorate the run. The Trent Waldron Half-Marathon issues awards based on age graded times (i.e., times adjusted based on age) for the top three male and female finishers in both the 10K and Half Marathon. We utilize age graded awards (adjusted using USTF calculations) at Trent Waldron to remind people of Marcie Trent and her spirit and love for running at all ages is out there on the trail with you.

Partnership With Anchorage Young Cancer Coalition. ARC partners with AYCC to put on Trent Waldron and donate a portion of the proceeds to their program. You are invited to help fund raise by creating or joining a team when you register. The team that raises the most money will receive an unique glass award created especially for Trent Waldron by Laura Mendola.
