RUN Saipan’s 4th Annual Half Marathon 2025 has been set for Saturday, Aug. 30, and participants can now take advantage of early bird registration.
This year, in addition to the 50 slots available for the half marathon distance, Run Saipan has upgraded its 5K fun run to a 10K fun run, offering 80 slots for that category.
For those registering early, the half marathon will be priced at $50, while the 10K will cost $35.
Beginning Aug. 1, standard registration will open, with the half marathon remaining at $50 and the 10K increasing to $40.
Starting Aug. 24, late registration fees will apply: $60 for the half marathon and $45 for the 10K.
Awards will be given to the overall top three male and female finishers of the half marathon, as well as age division winners based on World Athletics Standards: 19–34, 35–39, 40–44, 45–49, 50–54, 55–59, 60–64, and 65+.
For the 10K, awards will go to the top three male and female finishers, along with the top three in the U18 boys and girls categories. (Athletes must be 16 or 17 years old on Dec. 31 of the competition year.)
There will be no age division awards for the 10K.
All participants will receive an event T-shirt and a finisher medal.
The half marathon course will follow the original Saipan Marathon 21K route.
Race time: 5 a.m.
A three-hour cut-off time will be enforced.
The 10K course will start at American Memorial Park, proceed to First Hawaiian Bank on Beach Road, and return. Race time: 6:30 a.m.
All registered participants will receive an XL breakfast platter after finishing the race, just like last year, with food available immediately at the finish line.
