Ultimate Guide to the Kiawah Island Marathon 2019

If you’re going to push your body to its limits, you might as well do it in a setting that will nourish your soul! 

The 42nd Kiawah Island Marathon and Half Marathon will be held on December 14th, 2019 at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort, with runners taking off at  8 a.m. from East Beach Village. 

Choose between the 26.2 full marathon or the 13.1 mile half, both winding through the rich, varied scenery of our island—from lush marshland and maritime forest, to the ponds and rivers that feed into the Atlantic Ocean. It’s an ecological tour de force! And as an added bonus, you’ll find the course to be mostly flat,  perfect for everyone from Boston qualifiers to first-time racers!

Last year’s races (2018) drew a little over 1,000 participants for the full marathon and almost 3,300 for the half.
