About the New Caledonia International Marathon

This long-running Nouméa road race grew from ties with runners in Tachikawa, Japan. The full anchors a multi-distance morning and offers rare marathon coverage in New Caledonia without turning into a remote trail event.

Course

Several loops around Nouméa's bays add up to a measured road course with about 276 meters of ascent and descent. Coconut-lined stretches provide some shelter, while showers, aid points, and kilometer markers support the early-morning field.

Race-day weather

September is southern winter in Nouméa, usually one of the more comfortable times to race. Humidity, coastal breeze, and strengthening sun can still matter once runners begin later loops.
