Equinox Marathon

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 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 community participation, making it a significant social occasion. Alongside the marathon, there is a relay option and a kids marathon, all celebrating the spirit and history of the region. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
