Alaska's most famous footrace up Mount Marathon plus parade and waterfront festival.

Alaska's most famous footrace — a grueling 1.5-mile dash up (and tumble down) 3,022-foot Mount Marathon, held every July 4th since 1915. The day also features a parade, waterfront festival, street fair, food vendors, and fireworks over Resurrection Bay. The steepest mountain race in the US.
