Race Info

There are fifteen aid stations located along the marathon course, providing intensive support in the form of hydration as well as different forms of nutrition, along with an abundance of moral support and good cheer. Aid stations are also supplied with basic first-aid supplies and clothing drop bags. Four EMT crews are on the course throughout the day to address more intensive medical needs.

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.

A display board will exhibit finishers’ bib tags by race category, designating name and race time. Medals are awarded at the finish line to all marathon and half-marathon finishers.

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.

The Prince of Wales Island Marathon is the standard marathon distance of 26.2 miles and is USATF-certified (#AK14007FW). Race times may be used as time qualifiers for the Boston Marathon.
