Maui Oceanfront Marathon 2027

The Maui Oceanfront Marathon begins at the Shops at Wailea on Wailea Iki Road, taking runners on a 26.2-mile point-to-point course along Maui’s south and west shores. This road marathon utilizes asphalt and a shoulder bike path, with much of the running surface measuring only 4 to 8 feet wide. As a nonprofit community event, its proceeds benefit local school teams, clubs, and other Maui nonprofit organizations that assist in staging the marathon. The course circles the Shops at Wailea, exits via the Marriott driveway, proceeds south for a mile, then turns back near the Fairmont. It continues onto South Kihei Road through oceanfront Kihei Town. Approaching the halfway point, it shifts to Highway 30 above Maalaea Bay, heading toward the finish line outside Launiupoko Beach Park. Participants will encounter ocean and mountain vistas, potential whale sightings, and numerous public beaches and pullouts for spectators. The race provides runners with reusable HydraPak Speedcups at the start, foregoing disposable cups. The certified course is also eligible as a Boston Marathon qualifier.
