King Salmon Marathon
King Salmon Marathon is a marathon held in Cordova, United States, in July. It sits within the Alaska Salmon Runs programme, which also includes a half marathon, a 10K, a 5K and a one-mile fun run or walk.
The marathon runs point to point along the Copper River Highway, beginning at the bridge near mile 27. Roughly the first half is gravel road carrying little to no traffic, and the remainder is paved.
The half marathon is also point-to-point. It is mostly flat and crosses the Copper River delta, passing through wetlands and streams. The one-mile Smolt fun run starts from Cordova Community Medical Center on Chase Avenue, so younger runners and walkers can take part in the same event day.
