Event overview
The Juneau Marathon and Half-Marathon takes place on July 25, 2026, in Douglas, Alaska, with the start/finish area near 105 Savikko Road, Douglas. Distances offered:
- 13.1 Mi
- 26.2 Mi
Registration is online only. Listed entry fees are $60 for the half-marathon and $85 for the marathon, with scheduled price increases in June and July. Packet pickup and late registration assistance are available the day before at Nugget Alaskan Outfitter and on race day at the Pioneer Pavilion.
Course, logistics and awards
Both courses are USATF-certified (codes valid through 12/31/2025) and run on rolling out-and-back routes along Douglas and North Douglas Highways on Douglas Island. The event is relatively small (full marathon under 100 participants, half-marathon under 250) and roads remain open to traffic; runners must use the road shoulder, bicycle lane, or sidewalk and avoid crossing the white fog line. Aid stations provide water, Gatorade, and Gu; there are three aid stations for the half and two additional stations for the marathon, each encountered twice on the out-and-back layout. Restrooms are available at the start/finish area and at or near several aid stations.
Sportstats will provide ankle-strap chip timing and live results; ankle straps must be returned to avoid a fee. All finishers receive a finisher medal and a technical shirt (size guaranteed only if registered by June 1). The marathon is a Boston Marathon qualifying race and serves as the RRCA Alaska State Marathon Championship. Awards include age-group and adaptive categories, with an awards ceremony at Pioneer Pavilion. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
