KRC Southeast Slosh

The Southeast Slosh Trail Half Marathon takes place on July 11, 2026 at the Ward Lake Nature Trailhead in Ketchikan, Alaska. The route starts and finishes at Ward Lake and uses surrounding trails including Perseverance Lake Trail, Ward Creek Trail, Pipeline, and Salvage. The distance is approximately 13.99 miles and there are four aide stations located along the course.

Racers are allowed five hours to complete the course; after that time participants may finish but aide station support and finish line services are not guaranteed. Individual runners and relay teams of up to four runners may register. Each relay team must determine its own exchange locations.

Registration follows a sliding scale by date: March 24 to May 11 at $30 with a reduced $20 fee for Ketchikan Running Club members; May 12 to June 11 at $40 and $30 for members; June 12 to July 9 at $50 and $40 for members. A processing fee applies. Bib pickup is scheduled at the Ketchikan Rec Center on Friday, July 10 from 5 to 7 PM. Race day registration will be available at Ward Lake for cash only.

Participants are asked to follow trail etiquette, remain on designated trails, avoid littering, and be respectful of other trail users.
