The 2027 Kagoshima Marathon is a flat, easy-to-run out-and-back course along Kinko Bay with a separate downtown finish, starting at the former Dolphin Port site, turning around at Shigetomi in Aira City, and finishing in front of Kagoshima City Hall. The course faces Sakurajima volcano and includes a downtown loop through the first 13 km.

Why attend here

Run along Kinko Bay with Sakurajima's smoking peak as your backdrop, then warm up with a bowl of rich, porky tonkotsu ramen—a Kagoshima specialty—before soaking in a volcanic onsen. March brings mild, dry days perfect for exploring the Sengan-en gardens and the Saigo Takamori statue, all without the crowds of peak season.
