Run Japan's first big marathon of the year on Jan 10, 2027, past golden rapeseed fields with Mt Kaimon and the sea in view. The nation's most generous 8-hour cutoff and warm local hospitality.

Why attend here

In January, Ibusuki's mild seaside air makes the rolling, scenic course a pleasure, with golden nanohana fields and Mt Kaimon as your backdrop. After the race, sink into the famous sunamushi sand baths on the beach, then warm up with a bowl of local chikara udon or fresh katsuo tataki.

Course

Rolling seaside route with continuous gentle ups and downs in the first 10km and a long 'heartbreak hill' climb from around 35km; about 100m of elevation change, scenic rather than fast. The route winds past golden rapeseed (nanohana) fields with the cone of Mt Kaimon ('Satsuma Fuji') and Kyushu's largest lake, Lake Ikeda, in view.
