Marathon   The marathon event is 26.2 miles in length beginning at Bartlett High School and traveling through the eastern foothills and across Anchorage to the West High School finish line. Scenic city bike trails, gravel, rocky, and paved roadways make up this gently rolling to extended downhill course. The race is sanctioned by USA Track and Field and is recognized by the Boston Marathon as a qualifying event. The race start is at 8:00 a.m. All participants must finish the race by 4:30 p.m. A special award known as the Visitor's Cup is presented to the best performance by an out-of-state female and male. Over 1,200 runners and walkers registered for the 2010 marathon. Marathon Relay   This four member team event will cover the same course as the individual marathon (with much less effort). The first team crossing the finish line with the marathon sash wins. Team runners can only run in one leg of the event. Relay exchanges are at the aid stations located at Mile 7.1, Mile 15, and Mile 21. There are six divisions to choose from: Corporate, School Age (junior & senior), Military Service, Open Men, Open Women & Open Mixed. In 2010, 55 teams participated in the relay event.
