“We are pleased to extend early bird rates to both international and local participants joining Saipan Marathon 2020, and we hope this will encourage more people to try it out and have some fun running and walking together,” said MVA managing director Priscilla M. Iakopo.
“We are all grateful that The Marianas is free to date from any suspected or confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus, but given the impact of the virus on tourism and the local economy, we know it’s the right decision to keep rates low this year for everyone. It’s going to be a great race, and we warmly invite our friends near and far to join us.”
