Skinny Raven Half & 10K Virtual 1/2 Marathon

About this race

The Skinny Raven Half & 10K Virtual 1/2 Marathon, held annually on July 21st in Anchorage, Alaska, is a well-established running event with a rich history tied to the local running community. While this year's "virtual" designation allows for broader participation, its traditional roots are in Anchorage's scenic beauty. Participants can anticipate a well-organized race experience, whether they choose to run the official course in Anchorage or opt for a virtual completion. The event typically caters to runners of all levels, offering both a half marathon and a 10K distance. The terrain in Anchorage generally features paved multi-use trails that wind through parks and along the coastline, offering stunning views of mountains and Cook Inlet. Runners should be prepared for variable Alaskan weather, which can include sunshine, rain, or even cooler temperatures, even in July. While this year's virtual format removes the need for specific course navigation on race day, the spirit of the event draws from the natural beauty and potential challenges of the Alaskan environment, making it a unique and memorable race for all involved.
