About the Event

The Aitutaki Marathon isn’t just a race—it's a one-of-a-kind Cook Islands experience. Often described as “a holiday interrupted by a run,” this event blends tropical paradise with pure endurance. Now in its eighth year, Pursuit in Paradise continues to captivate runners with the island’s beauty and the warmth of its people. Participants from across the world take on this sunrise challenge not for medals, but for the unforgettable journey it offers. For newcomers it’s eye-opening, for returning runners it feels like coming home—and for everyone, Aitutaki’s spirit makes it truly unforgettable.
