Marathon International de Samoa

"Manuia le taeao, aventurier des îles !" 🌺

No, you’re not in a haka ready to face the All Blacks, even if your heart drums as if you were on the field! 🏉 Here, in the Samoa archipelago, at the heart of the South Pacific, there’s another dance awaiting you: your stride under the stars, rhythm of the waves 🌊. Imagine yourself on the isle of Upolu, cradled by trade winds and surrounded by a scene Polynesian worthy of the animated film Vaiana. The Samoa islands, is the setting of your next challenge: a night marathon that winds through this little paradise to bring you to the heart of Apia, the vibrant capital 📍.

Here, everything breathes escape 💨. Between white-sand beaches fringed with palm trees 🌴, mountains cloaked in dense forests 🌳 and crystal-clear lagoons 💧, every kilometer is a total immersion in Polynesian culture 🌅. But beware, the Samoa International Marathon, it’s not just a stroll by the water! 🌙 It’s a demanding race that will start you at night, headlamp on, to beat the blazing daytime heat 🥵. Under a starry sky 🌌, you’ll wander the island in a mystical vibe, cradled by the gentleness of the Pacific and the support of the spirit Fa’a Samoa, this philosophy of life built on family, respect and community 💭. Don’t panic, this event isn’t reserved for extreme marathoners! If 42 km, that’s a bit much for you, other distances are available 😇. Whether you prefer a 6 km sprint

After crossing the finish line at sunrise on Apia, the magic continues 🤩. The Fugalei Marketwill invite you to taste exotic fruits 🥭 and local craftswhile the vertigo-inducing waterfalls of Papapapaitai will refresh you after the effort 💦. A short visit to the writer’s house Robert Louis Stevenson will offer a cultural pause between two beaches, before finally laying your towel on the golden sand of Lalomanu and savoring the moment like a true hero of the Pacific 🏖️.

So, ready to swap the famous oval ball for a pair of sneakers and write your own Samoan legend? 🏝️
