Endurance Racing in Hawaii

Hawaii holds a sacred place in endurance sports as the birthplace of the Ironman World Championship. Kailua-Kona on the Big Island has hosted the sport's ultimate test since 1978, drawing the world's best triathletes to its legendary lava fields. Beyond Ironman, the state offers extraordinary running events like the JAL Honolulu Marathon — one of the largest marathons in the US with no time limit — and the Waikiki Roughwater Swim, the oldest open water swim event since 1970. The Honolulu Century Ride circles Oahu's stunning coastline. Hawaii's tropical climate enables year-round racing, though the humid summers favor early morning starts. Trail running on volcanic terrain across Maui and the Big Island provides otherworldly race experiences unlike anywhere else in the country.
