About the Okinawa Marathon
The race brings a large full-marathon field to central Okinawa rather than the Naha tourist core. Its community atmosphere and military-base access create a distinctive route identity.
Course
The road course moves through Okinawa City and neighboring municipalities with repeated climbs. A secured section through Kadena Air Base is among the race's signature features.
Race-day weather
February is mild but can be humid, rainy, windy, or surprisingly warm. The hills magnify any heat, so conservative early effort remains important.
