About the Zombie Half Marathon

The Zombie Half Marathon follows coastal and creek trails in Anchorage late in the season, when conditions can be anything. The organizers are upfront that weather will not cancel the race. Costumes are part of the culture here, and most people show up dressed for it, which gives the whole morning a different feel than a typical trail race.

Common Questions About the Zombie Half Marathon

Will I finish last at the Zombie Half Marathon?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1094 Miles field finished slower than 2:07:47, and the last recorded finisher came in around 5:02:46, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Zombie Half Marathon a good first 13.1094 Miles?

A field of 585 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1094 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Zombie Half Marathon?

The 13.1094 Miles winner ran 1:13:29 while the median finisher took 2:07:47. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
