Course & Elevation
The Seychelles Eco-Friendly Marathon was run on the main island of Mahé each February from 2008, as a marathon with shorter races of 5K, 10K and a half marathon. It was initiated by Dong Chang Jeong, the honorary consul of Seychelles in South Korea, and organised by the Seychelles National Sports Council and the Seychelles Tourism Board with a South Korean events company. The route started in the middle of Victoria, the capital, and covered much of the northern and central part of the island; organisers described about half of the course as up and down. The race was certified by AIMS and grew to over 1,500 participants. The 13th edition was held in February 2020, and the 14th edition, planned for 28 February 2021, was cancelled during the pandemic. The Seychelles tourism administration promotes a different event, the 22 km Seychelles Nature Trail on Mahé.
