The Kauai Marathon and Half Marathon are not just races—they’re unforgettable destination experiences set against one of the most breathtaking backdrops on Earth. Scheduled for August 31, 2025, (6:00 AM – 1:00 PM) this premier running event on the Garden Isle combines natural beauty, cultural celebration, and the thrill of road racing.

Runners will journey through lush tropical landscapes, with dramatic mountain vistas on one side and the sparkling Pacific Ocean on the other. Along the route, hula dancers, Taiko drum troupes, and local cheer squads bring the spirit of Hawaii to life, creating a race atmosphere like no other.

The race finishes with a spectacular oceanfront finale, making the Kauai Marathon one of the most scenic finish lines in the world. Whether you’re chasing a personal record or simply running for the joy of it, this event offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Kauai’s culture, community, and natural beauty.
