ABOUT THIS EVENT
With participants from Hawai‘i, the mainland U.S., and all corners of the globe, the Honolulu Marathon is more than just a race—it’s a shared experience. Whether you’re a first-timer or returning for another go, you’ll be part of one of the world’s most memorable marathon weekends. The race begins at 5:00AM on Ala Moana Boulevard, lit by a full fireworks display that launches the entire field into the dark early morning streets of Honolulu. You’ll pass through Waikiki Beach, downtown Honolulu, and out past Diamond Head, with ocean views and sunrise light along the way. The race ends in Kapi‘olani Park, just steps from the beach, where finishers are greeted with their medal, showers, fresh malasadas and post-race refreshments. Whether you’re exhausted, elated, or both—this is where the celebration starts!
