Get ready for a thrilling, late-season challenge at the Zombie Half Marathon, held on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in picturesque Anchorage, AK. This unique event invites runners to embrace their inner zombie, donning the best undead attire as they navigate a scenic 13.1-mile course. Beginning at Goose Lake and finishing at Kincaid Chalet, the point-to-point route takes participants along the West Chester Creek Lagoon before transitioning to the stunning Coastal Trail. Runners can expect generally fast and flat terrain, though be prepared for a few decent inclines, notably a challenging one near the finish. Throughout the race, enjoy beautiful views over the inlet and the vibrant fall colors, with the added excitement of potential moose sightings along the way.

Hosted annually by the Anchorage Running Club since 2009, this half marathon promises a memorable Halloween-themed "runcation." Aid stations, providing water and typically Gatorade, are strategically placed around miles 4 and 8 (Westchester Lagoon and Point Woronzof), though participants are encouraged to carry additional nutrition. Typical race day conditions in October present highs around 48°F and lows around 36°F, with a 10% chance of precipitation; rest assured, the race will proceed regardless of weather. While walkers can enjoy an early start, all participants must cross the finish line by the 1:30 PM cutoff to receive an official time.

What truly sets the Zombie Half Marathon apart is its spirited atmosphere, where fleeing imaginary flesh-eating monsters might just boost your finish time. Runners will be rewarded with a long-sleeve running shirt and a finisher medal. Remember to arrange your own transportation from the Kincaid Chalet finish back to the Goose Lake start, as no shuttle service is provided. Join fellow runners for this festive and challenging half marathon, an unforgettable blend of fitness and spooky fun!
