Built a family vacation in O’ahu around this race as I work towards doing a half in all 50 states, so chose the race over other 1/2’s on the islands mostly based on timing. So glad I did. Beautiful run with a well organized race. Packet pickup in a hotel was easy and low key (we stayed nearby so packet pickup and the start/finish line were walking distance. Park toilets at the start/finish meant real plumbing and that was a plus. Swag was modest, but the medal was perfect. Loved the sunrise over the ocean as we ran around the side of the island. There are some hills, but nothing devastating, if you’re taking it easy to enjoy the views it’s worth it. If you’re planning a trip for this one, the beaches, snorkeling, surfing, and Polynesian Cultural Center are all awesome. You should run this.

What can I say? I’m running in paradise — Diamond Head, the ocean … ahhh. This race was soon after my foot surgery and I was not able to run the half. One day I’ll be back to run the half!
