About Shimonoseki Kaikyo Marathon 2026
Here are some tips to make the most of your Shimonoseki Kaikyo Marathon experience:
- Enjoy the Scenery: More than half of the course runs along the coast, offering panoramic views of the Kanmon Straits and Hibiki-nada. Don't forget your camera!
- Prepare for Elevation: The latter part of the course features several points with 40–50m climbs. We recommend training for these inclines to maintain your pace.
- Combine with Sightseeing: After the race, enjoy the local culture by visiting Karato Market for fresh seafood or exploring Akama Shrine.
- Track Your Progress: The full marathon features 5km interval timing, allowing you to monitor your pace throughout the race.
