The Marathon and Half Marathon are USATF-certified (USATF cert. no. AK14008FW), out and back courses. The events are run at sea level on the lightly traveled, two-lane Douglas Highway/North Douglas Highway in Juneau, Alaska. By virtue of its certification, the marathon can be used as a time qualifier for the Boston Marathon. The moderately hilly course has been compared in difficulty to the Boston Marathon. The scenic course offers views of mountains, glaciers, forests, and the ocean. The start/finish is near the picnic shelter at Sandy Beach, in Douglas.
For this year's events, we have worked with Alaska Airlines and Delta Airlines to offer discount airfares for our visiting participants. They have graciously provided discount codes - ECMZ398 - that is valid for flights booked through Alaska Airlines to and from Juneau between July 21 and August 4, 2018; and "NMRPE" valid for Delta Airlines flights to and from Juneau between July 23 and August 4, 2018.
