Hidden deep in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, Kiribati is one of the most remote and remarkable island nations on Earth.

Spread across shimmering turquoise lagoons and coral atolls, it offers a rare opportunity to experience untouched beauty, warm local hospitality, and a culture shaped by the rhythm of the ocean.

Yet Kiribati is also on the front line of climate change, facing rising seas and environmental challenges that few places know so intimately.

Our marathon invites runners from around the world to connect with this extraordinary country—celebrating its strength, honoring its traditions, and raising awareness for the future of low-lying island communities. Running in Kiribati isn’t just a race; it’s a journey to one of the planet’s most unique horizons.
