Honolulu Ekiden and Music Festival

2019 Honolulu Ekiden & Music Festival

The Honolulu Ekiden is an authentic EKIDEN conducted over a 26.2-mile ocean view course certified by the USATF. Each runner wears a sash and passes it on to their teammate at the relay exchange station. The sash is a symbol that represents teamwork and unites the runners in their race to complete the course.

Race Start Time: 5:30AM

Cutoff time to complete entire course: 11:30AM

NEW THIS YEAR: SOLO Marathon Runner category! Complete the entire course yourself, an incredible experience to see Oahu's beauty from Kapiolani Park to Sandy Beach Park and back!

Team Relay Runners will enjoy beautiful ocean views along six different course sections with a total length of 26.2 miles or 42.195 km.

Starting at the base of Diamond Head at Kapiolani Park, the course travels eastward along the coast, where it winds past popular Hanauma Bay. The turn around point will be famous Sandy Beach.

A maximum of six runners may participate as a team. Each runner may choose the course section he or she desires to run. For teams with fewer than six members, a runner or runners may run more than one section consecutively.
