A pre-race evening spaghetti dinner will be provided for racers (and the general public) the evening before the race. Participants may partake of a free post-race BBQ.

Course Map
This is an out-and-back course that affords views of some of our most majestic lakes, clear streams, and moose-inhabited areas. The middle, more mountainous portion of the full marathon course presents challenges but equally inspires participants with Southeast Alaska’s natural beauty.
