This event holds a special place in the hearts of many runners, supportive family members, spectators, Seward community members, fellow Alaskans, and visitors from around the world. Even before Seward was founded in 1903, locals would run up Lowell Mountain to spot incoming steamships. When a ship was spotted, the climbers would race down the mountain to be the first to alert the community. This tradition prompted a bet that a runner could make it up and down the mountain in under an hour. The first attempt took Al Taylor one hour and 20 minutes. Word of the one-hour challenge spread across Alaska. The first organized race was held in 1915. James Walters won with a time of one hour and two minutes. It would be several years before “Seward’s mountain marathon” turned Lowell Mountain into Marathon Mountain. Today, the community of Seward continues to warmly welcome athletes and visitors to our town to celebrate Independence Day. Through the years, this event has grown to mean many things to many people, but the heart of the event remains the same.

  • FIRST DESCENTS in the CATSKILLS First Descents Conjure
    Vol. XXXIII, No. 1 JANUARY - MARCH, 2000 FIRST DESCENTS IN THE CATSKILLS First descents conjure up images of high-altitude mountaineering with all its challenges, hazards and hardships. How can there be first descents in the Catskills when all the peaks have been climbed and descended in all conceivable directions? First descents on skis? It's possible that a lot of the trails have been descended in this manner. But, descend from the summit by bushwhacking on skis and there's a good chance of achieving a first descent. A review of skiing history will help us understand how we can manage to ski trailless, steep, wooded terrain. Skiing is thousands of years old, but turning skis was not part of the game until the 1860s when Sondre Norheim of Norway figured out that if he had a twisted root cable going around the heel of his boot, he'd have more control of his destiny. He also invented turning techniques, such as the telemark (Nordic/downhill) and Christiana, to complement his equipment innovations. A whole new world opened to him because of his newly-acquired control. No longer restricted to flat terrain and ski jumps, he could venture into the hills and mountains. Others wanted to be part of this new sport with the result that there followed an explosion in ski, binding and boot design. Eventually, it was discovered that even greater control could be gained if the heel was locked to the ski. Norheim's free-heel telemark turn techniques fell into disuse. What remained of Nordic/downhill skiing was the classic cross-country skiing on flat or easy terrain familiar today, with steep terrain being descended with alpine (heel down) equipment.
