I’ve added two Virtual Hawai’i events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For $20 you can run the 100% Pure Kona Coffee Marathon or Half<\/strong>. You will also be entered into their prize drawing which includes gear from Big Island Running Company, 100% Pure Kona Coffee and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A shirt and medal are not included at this price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run the Virtual race this year and set a goal to run on The Big Island next year, or some day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve also added my personal favorite The Honolulu Marathon<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Hawai’i event offers the option to run The Honolulu Marathon<\/strong> for $45 or the Start to Park 10K<\/strong> for $40. This also gives you access to the Honolulu Marathon Virtual Beachfest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can run the marathon on more than one day by selecting “Multi-day event” at registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also The Royal Challenge<\/strong> which includes the Start to Park 10K<\/strong> AND the Honolulu Marathon<\/strong>. Registration is $76.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A shirt and medal is provided for each event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Honolulu<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’ve run The Honolulu Marathon twice and loved it even though it kicked my butt. It’s like Boston if they ran it in July!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can register and upload your results by Midnight on New Years Eve! And that’s Honolulu time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can run the marathon over two days, finish on New Years Eve AND enjoy a cold one or five. It is New Year’s Eve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you finish in Kapiolani Park they make you walk to find the tent to pick up your finisher’s shirt. No finish, no shirt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right in the park they make the local donut called “Malasala” which is basically a jelly donut. So for the Boston version of the full race experience get some jelly donuts to enjoy with a cold beer on New Year’s Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is my race recap from 2018<\/a> if you need a little inspiration to sign up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More 5Ks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We only have two 5Ks for November and a 5K and 10K for December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any ideas for 5K or 10K races, please let me know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local is good but with virtual races we have the opportunity to “run” in some great locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point in time, races in late November and anytime in December could work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
