The Mayor's Marathon is a 26.2-mile race beginning at Bartlett High School. The racecourse travels through the eastern foothills and across Anchorage to the finish line at the Delaney Park Strip. 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 time is 8 a.m. and all participants must finish the race by 4:30 p.m.

Discount registration for UAA employees is $45 for the marathon, $35 for the half marathon and $20 for the 5-miler. To sign up as a UAA employee, download the mail-in registration form and note on the form that you are a UAA Employee. Registration fees must be paid with cash, check or credit card prior to bib pick-up. If paying by credit card, do not fax or email the registration form. Instead, mail in the form or bring it to the Athletics office during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.).

The marathon is also looking for first-aid volunteers.
