Organisers say the event continues to promote inclusion, healthy living, and community participation, welcoming everyone from elite athletes to families, corporate teams, and recreational runners.

This year’s marathon is supported by naming rights sponsor Motibhai Group through Rexona, with Munro Leys coming on board as the major sponsor. Other partners include The Fiji Times, Jack’s of Fiji, Weta Coffee, Pure Fiji, SportsWorld, Athletics Fiji, Ticketmax, and the Suva City Council.

Building on the success of the Namosi Challenge, the marathon will once again be staged along Suva’s seawall, with Albert Park Pavilion serving as both the start and finish venue.

The Rexona Suva Marathon will be held on Saturday, August 8, featuring the full marathon, half marathon, 10-kilometre race, and team marathon events.
