The The Guam Visitors Bureau is pleased to announce that the 2008 Guam Ko’ko’ Road Race will be held on Sunday, October 19. To attract additional serious athletes, this year’s Guam Ko’ko’ Road Race has been expanded to an individual half marathon, increasing the length of the race to 21.08K, or 13.1 miles. The four person Ekiden, or relay race, will remain a 20K event with each team member completing a 5K leg.
The Guam Ko’ko’ Road Race, now in its third year, is one of GVB’s key signature events and traditionally held during the weekend of the Guam Micronesia Island Fair. Last year’s race welcomed a 64% increase in participation with over 600 runners competing along one of the most beautiful courses in the world. The course, which runs along Guam’s lovely East Agana Bay, has been slightly modified this year to accommodate the half marathon length yet still begins and ends at Ypao Beach Park, where GVB’s offices are located.

The 21st Guam Micronesia Island Fair will be held at Guam’s Ypao Beach Park from October 17 – 19 and like past fairs, will welcome representatives from all parts of Micronesia. Currently, the islands of the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas (Saipan, Rota, and Tinian) will participate along with the Federated States of Micronesia (Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae), the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and of course, the host of the fair, Guam USA.

| Guam in Top 10 Destinations Among Japanese Travelers |

The Japan Travel Bureau (JTB) released the 2008 top destination choices among Japanese travelers surveyed and for the third year in a row, Guam ranked in the top 20. In fact, Guam’s popularity as a favored destination jumped an impressive eleven places to be ranked as the number eight most popular destination choice in Japan.
The 2008 Most Desired Destinations report ranks Guam as the number eight most popular destination, a dramatic change over the previous two years. Guam’s surge in popularity can be attributed to the lower impact of fuel surcharges in comparison to farther destinations, renewed intensity in sales promotions initiatives including celebrity endorsements and a refreshed culturally driven message.
