I finished last but somehow I did manage to finish. It's an uphill marathon, 25 miles up to the 4000 foot pass then a little over 1 mile downhill to the Independence Mine parking lot. There were only 39 full marathon finishers. Everyone else was doing the 3 person relay. It was my 4th time to run the race, and it was also my slowest. It probably didn't help that I kayaked down the Little Susitna River for about 6 hours the day before. That was fun but lots of work to avoid fallen trees and sweepers.
But I'll probably be crazy enough to try it again next summer.
