Beppu-Ōita Marathon 2027

The Beppu-Ōita Marathon is 42.195 km between sea and city, in a distinctly Japanese atmosphere that’s both precise and welcoming, with Oita Prefecture as a natural backdrop 🌊.

Here, you run in Beppu, famous for its hot springs, and you can feel it in the air: an energy that simmers without burning your wings. ♨️.

The challenge that spices it all up is the 3h30 time limit: it adds a bit of pressure… but it’s also what makes the finish line even more satisfying, like a well-seasoned broth. ⏱️.

And after the effort, Beppu is right there, just steps from the start: go unwind at Takegawara Onsen to recover, take a tour of Jigoku Meguri (Beppu’s “hells”—promise, they’re better visited than endured), stroll over to the Beppu Tower to get your bearings in town, then finish with a break by the water at Kitahama for a sunset that everyone can agree on! 🌅
