  • Comments: Well run race...but honestly, I was expecting more. This is one of the top 10 marathons in the world as far as # of runners. There was lots of volunteers, but I would have thought you'd get more after you finish. I knew it was just gatorade and water during the race...so cookies and apples after was a little lame. The medal didn't even come with a ribbon and the shirt is so bright I'll never wear it. Oh well...I didn't run it for the stuff I would get...just sayin...

  • Comments: I read lots of negative comments on the Honolulu Marathon. I don't think they are warranted. Overall I felt it was well organized, well executed, and pretty fun. For the sheer size of this event, they do a pretty good job and I'd do it again. Pretty amazing to run through Waikiki streets and NO CARS.

  • Comments: I run this race every year because I'm a local. If I wasn't, I might do it once for the "destination" aspect. The course is tough due to heat and some hills that seem to come up just at the wrong times. Plan on losing at least two to three minutes at the start due to the crowds.
