Gold Nugget Triathlon - Swim Clinic

A Fabulous Friday Night in May!

Take Bands, Bear Tooth, and Beer, sprinkle in a little running or a great walk and we're talking about the best way to get summer going!

Join your families, friends, and your local ravens for the most fun you can have on a First Friday!

Taking place on one of the most unique courses in Anchorage, we close down the A/C St bridge for a scenic lap around Government Hill. Then traverse Downtown Anchorage, the Coastal Trail, Westchester Lagoon, with bands to serenade you along the way!

Finish the night at the Rose Garden with music, satisfy your hunger with Bear Tooth wraps, and wash it all down some Broken Tooth beverage.

You'll get a t-shirt you'll wear for years, Bear Tooth Grub and a refreshing Broken Tooth Beverage at the finish line.

Meet at Skinny Raven Downtown for the start of your event. Both distances start at 8th & H St. Cruise your course and finish at the Rose Garden on the Park Strip for all the post event fun! We will keep you updated on any changes via email and on the Event Page. Check the map on the event page for the course routes.

Kids Running is a 8-week Skinny Raven Youth summer program for kids ages 6-12. The group’s focus is on staying active and making running fun. Groups meet twice a week, with your choice of one of five possible locations. Participants in Kids Running receive a USATF membership, which provides them with secondary liability insurance while traveling to, from and during participation in sanctioned events or registered practices (Kids Running training sessions included). Background checks for coaches ensure a safe environment.

2026 ANCHORAGE MAYOR'S MARATHON & MORE

Each Summer Solstice the Anchorage Mayor's Marathon, Half-Marathon, Solstice Classic, Kids Mile and Relay bring hundreds of people together from nearly every state in the union, countries around the globe and from our very own community. There is something about nineteen hours (actually a bit more) of daylight that draws many to this unique and beautiful event.

Anchorage and Alaska has a lot to offer, so make sure you plan ahead and allow yourself enough time to see the sights. The Visit Anchorage web site can help you plan your adventures from lodging to sightseeing to exploring. Find out where to climb a glacier, see a moose, and catch a salmon. You can also find the best places to eat, sleep and dance the night away.

The Anchorage Mayor's Marathon is co-hosted by the University of Alaska Anchorage Athletic Department and the Municipality of Anchorage Parks and Recreation Department.

The Marathon course is certified by USA Track and Field as a Boston Marathon qualifier.
