After carefully considering options for the 2020 race, we have to share the sad news that there will not be an Equinox Marathon or Relay this year. This decision was challenging and difficult for the Running Club North Board of Directors and the Equinox Marathon race committee. As runners ourselves, we understand the deep disappointment this will cause to our participants, as well as the impact this has on our sponsors, vendors, partners, dedicated volunteers and community. All of us are heartbroken by this outcome.
All of us hoped that we could safely host the 58th annual event this September, but we do hope that you strap on a pair of shoes on September 21st and go for a run, jog or walk; slip into your favorite sneakers and move forward.
We’ll be in touch about 2021. Thank you for your support and dedication.
Until then – Stay Active, Stay Healthy, Stay Safe, and Stay Strong.

The Equinox Marathon and Relay will be on Saturday, September 19, 2020. Registration will open early next year, but mark your calendar now!
We’ve begun updating the Web site with the new (tentative) dates, and will flesh things out as plan develop.

We have new men’s and women’s records!
In the men’s marathon, it took 35 years but Aaron Fletcher from Anchorage toppled Stan Justice’s 1984 record by more than three minutes, running a blazing fast 2:38:14.
In the women’s marathon, Christy Marvin beat her own record from 2018 with a time of 3:23:59.
These records are all the more amazing because of the conditions for Saturday’s race: rainy, snowy, windy, and muddy.
You can find all the results, including for the relay, on the SportAlaska site.
Congratulations to them, and to everyone who took on the Equinox!
