Guam Ko’Ko’ Road Race 2016

The Guam Visitors Bureau will be holding the Guam Ko’Ko’ Road Races on Oct. 30.

The event will take place at the Gov. Joseph F. Flores Memorial Park or Ypao Beach Park in Tumon.

 The Guam Ko’Ko’ Road Race brings in thousands of runners from the US, Asia, and CNMI. It will feature the island’s elite half-marathon and Ekiden relay.

The event includes three different courses: a half-marathon, a four-person Ekiden relay, and the newly added 10k run/walk.

All races start and end at the Gov. Joseph F. Flores Memorial Park with prep time at 3 a.m. The half-marathon course covers 13.1 miles and the relay race course totals 5 km.

Each race course features picturesque views of Tumon, Tamuning, Asan, and Hagatna.

With the Ko’Ko’ Road Race taking place during all Hallows’ Eve, a costume contest will also be held for the most original, best superhero, and scariest costumes. Pre-race bags will be distributed and a dance number will be performed to keep the event lively.
