Equinox Marathon

Website

The Equinox Marathon, held annually in Fairbanks, Alaska, is a premier running event in Interior Alaska, typically taking place near the autumnal equinox in late September. The marathon features a challenging course mostly on trails, including a demanding climb up and over Ester Dome twice. The race offers a generous 10-hour cutoff, accommodating both runners and steady-paced walkers.

The event marks the transition from summer to fall, with vibrant foliage and a community atmosphere as locals come together to run, volunteer, and spectate. Alongside the marathon, there is also a relay option and a kids marathon, making it a festive end-of-summer celebration steeped in local history and spirit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.

Always double-check with the organizer's website – things can change, and we might have sprinted past a few details!
