Some races are bucket-list events.

Others are once-in-a-lifetime adventures.

Team Marathon Kids is excited to offer one exclusive opportunity to join us at the 2027 Volcano Marathon on Easter Island, taking place on June 27, 2027, one of the most extraordinary marathon experiences anywhere in the world.

Located more than 2,000 miles off the coast of Chile, Easter Island is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. Famous for its iconic Moai statues, rich Rapa Nui culture, volcanic landscapes, and breathtaking Pacific Ocean views, it offers a race experience unlike anything most runners will ever encounter.

While the marathon itself takes place on June 27, 2027, participants will spend 4 nights and 5 days experiencing the incredible history, culture, and natural beauty of Easter Island leading up to race day. From archaeological sites and volcanic landscapes to breathtaking coastal views, the Volcano Marathon is as much an adventure as it is a race.

Race day begins at Anakena Beach, following scenic coastal paths before climbing through volcanic terrain toward Rano Kau Volcano at mile 22. The course features natural dirt trails, grassy sections, and volcanic rock, with approximately 2,000 feet of elevation gain before finishing in the town of Hanga Roa at Nayara Hotel.

The selected Team MK runner will receive the official Volcano Marathon event package, including race entry and four nights of hotel accommodations, allowing them to fully experience this extraordinary destination. Participants will be responsible for arranging and covering the cost of airfare to and from Easter Island, as well as any personal travel expenses.

As a member of Team Marathon Kids, you’ll not only take on one of the world’s most unique marathons, but you’ll also help support a mission that empowers more than 500,000 kids nationwide to build confidence, healthy habits, and a lifelong love of movement through running.

And here’s what makes this opportunity even more special:

Only one runner will be selected to represent Team Marathon Kids at the Volcano Marathon.

One bib. One athlete. One incredible adventure.

If you’ve ever dreamed of combining endurance, exploration, and purpose into a single experience, this may be the most unique opportunity Team Marathon Kids has ever offered.
