EsterDome—andupandover itagain!—it isachallengingmarathon thatwill testyour runningabilities.Butdon’tworry if itseems toooverwhelming!Our generous 10 hour time cutoff is great for walkers who can keep a steady pace, and you can do just a third of the course by joining a relay team. As the name suggests, the race takes place near the Equinox, in this case the autumnal equinox in the latter part of September. This is the time when we near the end of our beautiful, green Fairbanks summers, as the leaves turn yellow and orange and trees begin to lose their leaves. But is (usually) before winter’s snows begin to fall.The entire community comes out to run, volunteer, and spectate in this big end of summer party. Start Time All Equinox events (marathon and relay) begin at 8:00AM , with a single mass start. Finish Line Cutoff Time The finish line for the Equinox events closes down at 6:00PM, 10 hours after the race start. Every person or relay team that finishes by 6:00PM will receive a finish time. Those who finish after 6:00PM will not be timed or receive any of the finish recognition items that those who finish before 6:00PM receive. We understand that it is a major achievement for some people to finish in any amount of time. However, the Equinox events have a policy of enforcing a firm cutoff time. If you don’t think that you can finish the marathon by 6:00PM, then you should consider entering the relay.
