About the Kagoshima Marathon

The event is southern Kyushu's major city marathon and combines a central Kagoshima start with a long bayfront journey. Local food and volunteer support feature throughout the day.

Course

The out-and-back road route uses central Kagoshima and the coastal corridor toward Aira. Gentle undulations, turns, and sustained exposure beside Kinko Bay accumulate gradually.

Race-day weather

Early March is usually cool to mild, but rain and coastal wind are possible. Volcanic ash from Sakurajima is an unusual regional variable.
