The course for the Kenai River Half Marathon takes participants on an out-and-back loop route along the Unity Trail that connects Kenai with the nearby town of Soldotna, which lies right on the Kenai River and is famed for its river fishing as well as for hiking and camping. The race starts near the office of the Kenai Convention & Visitors Bureau on Overland Avenue, and then makes a quick stretch through Kenai’s downtown city streets.
