Pro tips

  1. 01

    Confirm the Start Time

    The course field lists 12:00, but the description says the marathon starts at 7 a.m. and the half at 9 a.m.; plan for the earlier times.

    From the start time

  2. 02

    Out-and-Back Layout

    The marathon is an out-and-back on the lightly traveled, two-lane Douglas Highway at sea level, so you will return on the same road.

  3. 03

    Cool Race-Day Temperatures

    Typical race-day temperature is 13.9°C, so expect cool conditions, especially for the 7 a.m. marathon start.

  4. 04

    Parking and Rides

    There is ample free parking very close to the Sandy Beach start/finish; without a vehicle, schedule Uber/Lyft/taxi in advance because the nearby bus does not run early enough for the marathon.

    Sandy Beach Start/Finish

    The start/finish is near the picnic shelter at Sandy Beach in Douglas, about 4 miles from the cruise ship docks in Downtown Juneau and across a short bridge just north of downtown.
