    RUN AS A GUARDIAN CHAMPION

    Apply here

    Run 26.2 miles in paradise — and make a difference in the lives of our guardians. 


    The Honolulu Marathon is the fourth largest marathon in the United States after New York, Chicago and Boston. There is no time limit and everyone is allowed to finish.

    This beautiful course goes through downtown Honolulu, past Iolani Palace and the Christmas lights, through Waikiki and climbs up and around Diamond Head, before heading out through Kahala and out to Hawaii Kai. Turning back, the course passes Diamond Head again on the ocean side before finishing in Kapiolani Park.

    Finishers are greeted at the finish line with a medal followed by a festival area in Kapiolani Park, complete with malasadas (Hawaiian donuts) and other post race treats.
