The Course

Although it is scenic, the Honolulu Marathon course looks a bit challenging for a newbie like myself. Portions of the course are steep, especially as we run through Diamondhead and some of the luxury home communities.











The starting line is at Ala Moana Beach Park and goes through Honolulu Harbor, Chinatown and Downtown. Some sites we'll pass through include Iolani Palace, Kawaiahao Church and the Mission Houses Museum, all of which I'm really excited to see because I like historical things and read about all of them in Hawaii by James Michener (one of my all time favorite books). Can't wait 'til December 13 =)
