This USATF-certified, out and back marathon and half marathon is run at sea level on the lightly traveled, two-lane Douglas Highway in Juneau, Alaska. We also can be used as a time qualifier for the Boston Marathon. This 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.

I ran this race in 2003 and was fortunate enough to spend a little over a week in the area. Juneau is an awesome place to visit. The race is flat. Expect rain since it is Juneau. Little crowd support but the beauty makes it worth it
