Maui Oceanfront Marathon

The Maui Oceanfront Marathon offers runners an unforgettable experience along the stunning coastline of Hawaii’s Valley Isle. The marathon route commences at the vibrant Shopes at Wailea, meandering through picturesque landscapes before concluding its journey at Launipoko Beach Park. This point-to-point race not only challenges participants physically but also immerses them in the island's natural beauty.
For those seeking a shorter distance, the half-marathon starts near Ocean Center at Ma'alaea Harbor and follows a similarly scenic path to Launipoko Beach Park. Meanwhile, runners can explore 6 miles of coastal trails starting from Papalaua Beach, another point-to-point route that showcases Maui’s diverse terrain.
The 5K course offers a unique experience with its out-and-back journey from the finish line at Launipoko Beach Park, providing participants with an opportunity to enjoy the beachfront setting twice. This shorter distance is perfect for families and casual runners who still want to embrace the island's charm.
Every year, the Maui Oceanfront Marathon supports local charities, schools, and organizations through participant donations. Your contribution helps make a positive impact in the community while you run alongside fellow enthusiasts on this idyllic course.
Thursday’s Cookie Run in Kihei adds an extra layer of fun for runners looking to start their week off right. This event offers a lighter challenge with homemade treats and camaraderie, setting the stage perfectly before tackling the main marathon events over the weekend.
Whether you are a seasoned runner or just beginning your journey, Maui Oceanfront Marathon provides something special for everyone, ensuring that every step taken is both rewarding and memorable.
