Honolulu Marathon
The Hawaiian Islands are well-known for being as profoundly fierce as they are beautiful. Brimming over with volcanoes, dramatic cliffsides, and tropical jungles, these islands provide a unique contrast of power and mystery against sugar white sand beaches, gently swaying palm trees and colorful collections of flowers. Visitors have long been intrigued by this variety and are compelled to come to explore the volcanoes that simmer under the surface as much as they are drawn to crystal blue waters that lap the shoreline. It is the dynamic difference in the landscape that makes Hawaii the perfect place to host one of the world’s most challenging marathons. The Honolulu Marathon once again invites runners to the starting line beginning at 5 am on December 5, 2019.
