由来与背景
Launched in 1985 to mark the 25th anniversary of Naha's sister-city ties with Honolulu and modeled on the Honolulu Marathon, it has grown from 4,503 runners at its debut into the largest citizen marathon in Japan west of the Chugoku/Shikoku region, with the course passing Peace Memorial Park, the Battle of Okinawa memorial site, at its midpoint.
温馨提示
General entry (via Sports Entry) opened July 1, 2026 and closes once the 30,000-runner cap is reached, so apply early. Not running? The Peace Memorial Park stretch and the Onoyama Stadium finish straight are the liveliest places to cheer, and Naha hotels fill up fast for race weekend — book ahead.
