Maui Marathon and Half Marathon

The Maui Marathon and Half Marathon is renowned for being one of the most scenic marathon courses in the world. Following the main route from Kahului to Ka’anapali, runners are treated to some of the most spectacular mountain and ocean views that Maui has to offer. This 26.2-mile course is recognized as one of the ten most scenic marathons in the USA as well as the oldest consecutive running marathon in Hawaii. A major portion of the course runs within 50 feet of the Pacific Ocean.

Comfortable weather conditions, a relatively flat course and world class resort facilities make the Maui Marathon not only a perfect place to run but also an amazing place to spend preparing for and recovering from the big race.
