Camellia Marathon 2026

Feb 08, 2026 at 9:30am ~ Feb 08, 2026 at 11:00am

Set against Izu Oshima’s rugged coastline and volcanic scenery, the Camellia Marathon is a long-running community race held during the island’s annual Camellia Festival. Rather than a full marathon, the event features approachable 5km and 10km courses that wind through coastal roads and town streets at the peak of camellia bloom. Open to all ages and free to enter, the race emphasizes enjoyment and local spirit—making it an easy excuse to pair a scenic run with hot springs, seafood, and a winter island getaway.
