Whether you’re racing up the mountain or cheering from the sidelines, we welcome you to Seward for the 91st running of the Mount Marathon Race and our Fourth of July festivities. While you’re here, enjoy the fresh ocean air, comb the beach, and check out our trails. Peruse the food, arts and vendor booths. Feel the energy rise as thousands pour into town.

Then rest up for the real show — the Mount Marathon Race®. With race starts at 9 a.m., 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., there’s plenty of action througbout the day.

We are thrilled to have Altra as a Platinum Partner, serving as our first ever Alaska’s Focus Photography Official Footwear Sponsor.
