Registration for the 63rd Equinox Marathon and 33rd Equinox Relay will open at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, April 21.
RunSignup will again serve as the registration site at https://runsignup.com/Race/Events/AK/Fairbanks/EquinoxMarathonAK
Marathon entry fees will rise by about $10 in 2026 to reflect the rising costs of hosting events, although relay costs are slated to stay virtually unchanged.
The entry fees are published on this website at the “Entering” drop-down page HERE. The listed rates do not include the 6-7 percent RunSignup registration charges.
There will also be new discounts implemented for juniors, university students and active military members. Those groups will all receive $25 off the marathon and marathon hike. If all three relay members are juniors, university students or military members, those groups will also receive a $75 discount for the relay.
In 2025, 856 individuals entered the marathon, marathon hike and relay divisions and organizers hope to exceed that total in 2026.
The Equinox is scheduled for Saturday, September 19.
