First City Feast Day Fun Run

First City Feast Day Fun Run is a family-friendly Thanksgiving running event at Ward Lake in Ketchikan, Alaska. The program offers two distances: a 1-mile fun run (roughly a 1.4-mile lap around Ward Lake) and a 5-mile fun run. The atmosphere is casual and celebratory, inviting participants to “run like a beast before you feast” and close the season with a friendly outdoor activity.

The courses highlight the lakefront loop, and entry fees are $15 for the 1-mile and $25 for the 5-mile, with discounts for KRC members. It’s a community-oriented event welcoming locals and visitors alike before the holiday feast. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
