By the classical Banach-Stone Theorem any surjective isometry between Banach spaces of bounded continuous functions defined on compact sets is given by a homeomorphism of the domains. We prove that the same description applies to isometries of metric spaces of unbounded continuous functions defined on non compact topological spaces.
