An annual signature event of the Marianas Visitors Authority (MVA), the race is a certified measured course by World Athletics in cooperation with AIMS (Association of International Marathons and Distance Races).
“On par with other international marathons, this year Saipan Marathon has opened registration earlier than ever, and we are already receiving a number of local, regional, and international registrations,” said MVA Community Project Manager Martin Duenas. “It’s a great race for great value – including our festive awards celebration, which is something not a lot of other marathons offer. We encourage everyone who is planning to join to not delay and get the best price by signing up by this Thursday (Oct. 31).
Early bird registration through Oct. 31, 2024, is $80 for the full marathon, $60 for the half marathon, and $50 for the 10K and 5K.

Half marathon participants must be age 14 or older.
Cash prizes will be awarded for top finishers and by age division. Participants will receive a Limited Edition Official Saipan Marathon T-shirt, official Saipan Marathon medal, Certificate of Completion and other giveaways.
