2021 JUNEAU MARATHON AND HALF-MARATHON

WELCOME TO THE 2021 JUNEAU MARATHON AND HALF-MARATHON!!!!

FINAL PRE-RACE UPDATE - JULY 23, 2021: I hope your training has gone well and for out-of-towners, your travels will, too.

We are still moving forward with conducting a live event. We all know that COVID cases have been going up recently. The Juneau area is not immune to this. Be advised that the City and Borough of Juneau is upgauging the local COVID alert level to MODERATE today. That said, I listened to their briefing earlier this week and the word of the day was to wear a mask and maintain social distancing. Part of their message was that those who are not vaccinated are at greater risk. That is all I am going to say about that. As previously stated, we will not be checking for vaccination cards or policing mask-wearing/social distancing (with the notable exception of Friday packet pickup at Centennial Hall, where masking and distancing will be required while you are in the building). The club is responsible for putting on a safe event and we are doing everything possible to do so - and - it is a shared responsibility. Please help us in that regard.

PACKET PICK-UP AND LATE REGISTRATION:

Thursday, July 29, Nugget Alaskan Outfitter in the Mendenhall Mall, 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm. We will have a PayPal reader available so you can pay that way if you don't have cash or a check.

Friday, July 30, Centennial Hall (use side entrance), 101 Egan Drive, 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm. There is an ATM in Centennial Hall at which you can get cash if you don't have cash or a check with you.

Saturday, July 31, at the Savikko Park shelter starting at 6 am - RATES GO UP - REGISTER NOW. CASH OR CHECK ONLY ON RACE DAY

There will be three aid stations for half-marathoners and an additional two for marathoners. As these are out-and-back-courses, you will hit them twice. Aid station volunteers will be wearing masks and gloves and will not be handing out cups of water and Gatorade (I know I said we would be using bottled water, but this has changed). Please walk through the aid stations to get your beverage of choice, and dispose of the cup as close to the aid station as you can. Volunteers will be picking up the empty cups.

Food and beverage will be available at Savikko Park once you finish. Please enjoy, and re-don your masks/maintain social distance while at the finish line area.

Award ceremony will start at noon at the shelter.

If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me. dave1013@gmail.com or (907) 209-7995.

See you soon!
