The race is out-and-back and starts and finishes at the intersection of 6th Avenue and F Street adjacent to Town Square Park.

The route showcases the area’s excellent scenery. From downtown Anchorage, runners will run along the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail and then along the Chester Creek Trail. En route runners will pass many stunning beauty spots including Westchester Lagoon, Earthquake Park, Postmark Drive and Point Woronzof.

Our Marathon, Marathon Walk, and Marathon Relay USATF certified course has a few rolling hills and great views of the Aleutian Range, the Alaska Range, and the Chugach Mountains. Throw in a possible encounter with a moose or bear and you’ll depart with the full Alaska experience!
