About this event

Held on Okinoerabu Island in Kagoshima Prefecture, the '5th Okinoerabujima Uturusha Marathon' is a maranic-style ultramarathon set on an island with a circumference of approximately 50 kilometers. Participants can run while gazing at historic villages and the beautiful scenery of up-close seas, mountains, and fields. At aid stations, the appeal lies in tasting local traditional dishes and enjoying warm interactions with islanders. The morning sun at the start, the gentle evening sun welcoming runners at the goal, and sightseeing spots scattered like attractions along the course are also must-sees. It is a running event where participants can fully experience the charms of the island.
