***

The United Airlines Guam Marathon (UGM) continues to be Guam’s premier running event, with support from title sponsor, United Airlines and gold sponsors, Guam Visitors Bureau and Pacific Islands Club. UGM offers a race for everyone, from 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Full Marathon race distances. This three-day event kicks off with the Håfa Adai Expo; a two-day expo where runners receive their race packet, pick up official event merchandise and check out participating sponsor and vendor booths for games, activities and running apparel and gear. Kick off race day with the UGM Start Line Party featuring live music from popular local DJs and a grand prize airline ticket giveaway from United Airlines before the start of each race! The unique “out and back” course runs along the western coastline of Guam, highlighting the beauty of Guam’s culture and ocean surroundings. All races finish at the beach, where runners are welcome to partake in the Tumon Bay Dip and enjoy the post-race festivities, with live entertainment, cultural and beach activities and a variety of food & beverage offerings.

The course cut-off time will be 7 hours from the start of the Marathon. Runners must reach the turnaround for the marathon at the T. Stell Newman Visitor Center in Sumay within 4 hours from the gun start. The cut-off time will be enforced at each checkpoint due to limited duration of traffic control, security operation and event operation. The runners who fail to pass through the checkpoint before the cut-off time, will be disqualified from the race. Furthermore, trailing runners who lag excessively behind the cut-off time pace may be asked to leave the course at any time.
