Skagway Marathon
The Skagway Marathon is a race weekend in Skagway, Alaska, with events on Saturday, June 13, 2026. Events are based at the Seven Pastures Recreation Area and Dedman Stage. Registration for the 2026 race is open. There is no late registration or bib pickup available the morning of the event.
The full marathon is a 26.2 mile out and back course that combines road and trail sections and includes multiple hill climbs. The route moves along Southeast Alaskan fjord coastline, through a glacially carved valley, into a Sitka spruce wood, across the Taiya River trestle bridge, and past several small streams. Runners continue up West Creek Valley and finish in a forest opening with views of West Creek Glacier, nearby mountain peaks, and alpine scenery.
The half marathon follows the first portion of the full course through historical Skagway, running along ocean and forest before turning at aid station 4 and returning to the start. The walking half marathon traces the same route on foot and covers the same distance as the running half.
