Saipan Marathon 2025
March 8, 2025; Saipan, The Marianas
A warm hafa adai, tirow waami, and welcome to Saipan Marathon 2025 in The Marianas!
First held in 2006, Saipan Marathon has grown through years from a seed of an idea in the local board room two decades ago to a fully mature, internationally certified, inspiring race for runners today from around the world.
The 19th Annual Saipan Marathon is pleased to welcome participants from near and far to the tropical 14-island Marianas archipelago Our goal remains to deliver both a well-executed and safe race highlighting a time of rejuvenation for your body, mind, and heart surrounded by our beautiful nature and warm people.
This Saipan Marathon is an AIMS/World Athletics accredited course featuring a full-marathon, half-marathon, 10K, and 5K courses starting at our azure western lagoon, breezing along our lush green roadways, and offering a view of historic sites and artifacts from a diverse history dating back 4,000 years. A multi-cultural destination, our small islands are home to indigenous Chamorros and Carolinians. We invite you to learn more about them by visiting the Northern Mariana Islands Museum of History and Culture in Garapan or by learning about traditional canoe building and ocean navigation, still accomplished today without maps, satellite, or modern technology.
Saipan Marathon is your chance to step away from the hustle and bustle of today’s world, take a breath, and reconnect with nature, friends or family, and yourself…all while enjoying a great race.
Si Yu’us ma’ase, olomwaay, and thank you for making Saipan Marathon a part of your life journey in 2025!
