Honolulu Marathon

The Honolulu Marathon is always on the second Sunday of December. 

The Honolulu Marathon is popular amongst first time marathoners because there is no time limit. We keep the finish line open until the very last person has crossed the line. This is unique for a big city marathon. All finishers get an awesome finishers medal and finisher shirt.

The Honolulu Marathon is the 4th largest marathon in the United States after New York, Boston and Chicago. 

The Start to Park 10k, starts at the same time as the full marathon and takes in the first 10km of the marathon course. It is a great way to experience the mass start with fireworks for runners who are not ready for the full marathon. 

The Kalakaua Merrie Mile is a fun event on the Saturday before the marathon. The run is on Kalakaua Avenue with the finish on the beach with a beach party. There is a professional race after the regular runners have finished, and you can watch professionals run one mile in less than 4 minutes. Photos (c)  Honolulu Marathon
