Immerse yourself in the rich history and natural beauty of Saipan, an idyllic island located 2,400 kilometers south of Japan. The Sugarcane Railroad Journey Run invites runners to explore this unique landscape while retracing the legacy of a once-thriving sugar industry that shaped the island's past. Spanning approximately 80.5km, the route follows remnants of an old narrow-gauge railway system built in the early 20th century for transporting sugarcane and supplies across the island.
Participants will traverse through scenic coastal areas surrounded by crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral reefs, as well as inland trails that offer glimpses into Saipan's complex history. The course highlights include sections of the original railroad tracks, which serve as a poignant reminder of the island’s colonial past and its pivotal role in World War II.
