Samoa Apia Run

A beautiful island to run a marathon. Samoa is one of the most beautiful place in the South Pacific. The Samoa International Marathon route has a few rolling hills but mostly flat...there's everything to love about this beautiful course. Natural spring waterfalls along the course to cool yourself. At 5:30am, the 26.2 mile marathon and 13.1 half marathon get underway, taking you on a tour of Samoa's beautiful landscape, starting from Funway Rental Matautu, running along the coastline towards the village of Saoluafata. Though covering the same path for the return trip, the scenery changes, with the villages bustling awake to a new day and the Pacific Ocean reflecting the sun's rays like millions of sapphires and emerals.
