Race Description
The Niue Marathon is set to take place on August 16th, 2025, near the capital city of Alofi in Niue. The event, which will be based out of the Scenic Matavai Resort, offers runners a unique experience as they cross the international dateline and effectively arrive a day earlier than their departure from Auckland, New Zealand, which is about a 3.5-hour flight away.
Participants in the marathon can expect a self-supported course with multiple loops on roads; however, the specific route will not be finalized until arriving on the island. With free registration, there are no T-shirts or finisher awards, but runners are required to sign a release, wear a timing device, and confirm their finish times with race officials. Additionally, anyone registering for the Niue Marathon will also be automatically registered for another marathon in Vanuatu on August 7, 2025.
