Totem to Totem Half Marathon
Ketchikan, United States of America · Saturday 25 April 2026
Ketchikan s first half marathon will **hopefully** return to its traditional route this year, beginning at Rotary Beach and ending at Potlach Park! Runners, walkers and relay teams will begin at Rotary Beach (Bugge s Beach) and follow Tongass Highway along the water side, 13.1 miles and finish at Potlatch Park. There is currently no major construction scheduled for Tongass Highway, so we are planning for the half marathon to follow the traditional coastal route along the highway from Rotary Beach, through beautiful downtown Ketchikan and ending north of town at Potlach Park. HOWEVER, construction activities are subject to change, and may disrupt the route again this year. If the route changes we will notify runners and walkers as soon as we are aware of changes. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding. Rest assured that regardless of Ketchikan construction, we will have a beautiful 13.1 mile Southeast Alaskan course with ocean and Totem views. The event is open to both runners and walkers and usually features a smaller field of participants, as the race usually sees between 100 and 200 runners and walkers cross the finish line. Aid stations, amenities and finish line swag will be available until 2:30 pm, which gives participants 5.5 hours to complete 13.1 miles, which equates to approx. 24 minute mile pace. For safety concerns, pets and strollers are not allowed at this event.
