The Hapalua - Hawaii's Half Marathon
Join The Hapalua - Hawaii's Half Marathon
The Hapalua, subtitled Hawaii’s Half Marathon, offers an individual half marathon and relay as well as a unique feature it calls “The Chase.” In the Hapalua Chase, the best local runners from Hawaii get a head start on some of the best professionals runners in the world. The pros will chase down the local guys and girls to the finish line.
The race begins at the historic and beautiful Duke Kahanamoku statue and takes runners along Hawaiian streets, exposing them to great scenery and entertainment along the course. At Diamond Head Crater State Monument, runners will run all the way around the 475-acre park that circles what is perhaps Honolulu’s most famous site.
The Hapalua invites runners, elites, beginners, or in-betweens, to come and participate in this wonderful event!
