The 61st Ito Orange Beach Marathon 2027

About this event

An annual New Year marathon race held along Ito Orange Beach. Held on January 17, 2027, the event offers three categories: 10 km, 5 km, and 2 km. Open to everyone from beginners to experienced runners and families, its flat course with views of Sagami Bay is a major highlight. The course features few ups and downs and includes sections utilizing 4-lane roads, making it easy to participate even for first-time marathon runners. The 2 km event includes a division for 3rd-grade elementary school students and younger, as well as a family division where children and guardians run together. As a highlight of the event, local specialties and famous products of Ito City are given away by lottery, and participants from outside the city have a chance to win a pair of accommodation vouchers for Ito Onsen. Furthermore, as an event unique to the hot spring resort of Ito, participants can enjoy the hot springs by staying the night before or soothe their fatigue in the hot springs after the race. Past participants have remarked that the course is easy to run and accessible even for beginners. However, because there is no clear mention of water stations, participants are recommended to carry their own drinks if necessary. Since parking around the venue is limited, the use of public transportation is advised.
