Competition Rules
This event is sanctioned under the Northern Marianas Athletics rules and regulations. All participants must make their respective turns at each turning point. Timing officials will be recording each bib number and each runner as they make their way to the designated turning point. Failure to turn at the respective turning point will result in a disqualification. Participants who are unable to finish their respective races must report their numbers and return their timing chips to the Saipan Marathon Timing Officials. Baby strollers, carriages or selfie sticks are not allowed on the course. Failure to comply with these rules will result in a disqualification.
Full Marathon Half Way Cut-Off Point
Due to the ongoing construction on Beach Road, we will be routing the course on a different location. Thus, the full marathon course will have a Half Way Point where a cutoff time will take in to effect. The cut-off time will be 8:30 a.m. on the day of the race. If the participant does not reach the half way point, the participant will not be allowed to continue the race and the timing chip will be confiscated by Saipan Marathon Officials. Saipan Marathon Officials will be there to monitor the half way cut-off point and ensure compliance with all Saipan Marathon rules and regulations.
