Runners follow an out-and-back course along the Chester Creek Trail that winds through a series of parks and neighborhoods at the Trent Waldron Glacier Half Marathon, which starts and finishes at Anchorage’s Westchester Lagoon. From there, the course heads east through the city, all the way to the campus of the University of Alaska-Anchorage and back, with a long, gradual uphill followed by a long, gradual downhill in the second half of the course.
