Trent Waldron Half Marathon and 10K Anchorage, AK   May 23, 2026

The Trent Waldron Half Marathon is a celebration of life for Marcie Trent and Larry Waldron, mother and son, who were killed on a training run in July 1995. The Trent Waldron race benefits Anchorage Young Cancer Coalition, and again this year a portion of the proceeds from this race will go to this deserving non-profit.

Unlike most events, this race adds age-graded individual competition to the normal age-group awards. There will be ribbons awarded for five-year age groups and mugs for the overall age-graded male and female racer.

The start and finish line is at Westchester Lagoon in Margaret Sullivan Park. The half marathon course is an out-and-back along the Chester Creek and University trails. The course is relatively flat with the out portion being a gradual uphill. The aid stations are located at miles 3, 5.5, 7.5, and 10.

The 10K race course start and finish line is the same as the half marathon. The 10K turnaround is adjacent to the Davenport Park ball fields just east of the Lake Otis underpass.
