A marathon that feels bigger than race day.
Start before sunrise, run through Waikiki and around Diamond Head, and finish in Kapiolani Park near the ocean.
No qualifying time. No official time limit. A race that welcomes runners and walkers — and a destination your companion can enjoy too.
This is not just another city marathon. It is a finish line in Hawaiʻi.
Two packages.
