2027 Maui Marathon and Half Marathon

The Maui Marathon and Half Marathon is a beloved institution, claiming the title of the oldest consecutively held running event in Hawaii and the oldest marathon west of the Mississippi. With 21 editions on record and a median field of about 700 finishers, it has earned a reputation as one of the nation's most scenic races. Runner's World has named it among the top 10 most scenic marathons and a jaw-dropping running trip.

The course sweeps along the island's coastline, offering runners breathtaking ocean views under the Hawaiian sun. The warm, humid conditions (typical race-day temperatures hover in the low 80s) add a tropical challenge. The race starts and finishes near the Westin Maui Resort & Spa Kaʻanapali, with the after-party vibe of a true destination event.

Runners travel from across the globe to take part, and about 14% of the field returns year after year. The event is organized by the local Valley Isle Road Runners, fostering a community spirit that balances the island's relaxed aloha with serious racing. Whether you're chasing a PR or simply want to run somewhere unforgettable, the Maui Half Marathon delivers.
