Run Japan's southernmost marathon on subtropical Ishigaki in mid-January: warm 18C weather, ocean roads, sugarcane fields and a generous 7-hour cutoff for travelers. The course is a one-way coastal route starting and finishing at Ishigaki City Central Athletic Park, with views of coral-reef water and Mt. Omoto.

Why attend here

January on Ishigaki brings warm, dry days ideal for a coastal marathon, with the turquoise coral-reef waters and Mt. Omoto as your backdrop. After the race, unwind with a soak in a local hot spring and savor Ishigaki beef or fresh Yaeyama soba at a seaside eatery.
