Half Marathon Course Overview 

This magnificent event will showcase the best parts of the island, sea and sand of Oahu to all the participants. The Divas (Wahine) Half Marathon will once more be the epitome of an awe-inspiring, breath-taking, girl-power race. Start the race on Magic Island, located within Ala Moana Park, one of Honolulu's popular local hangouts. Run through the park, continuing on to the world-famous KaKaako Waterfront Park. Continue running and keep an eye out for Oahu's own Fishing Village where the "Catch-of-the-day" is brought to for auction. Head towards Aloha Tower Marketplace and the Aloha Tower, which was once the tallest building on Oahu and whose docks are now home to the Harbor Master guiding ships from around the world. From here, you will make your way back to beautiful Ala Moana Beach Park, right back to the finish line on Magic Island. Let your gorgeous surroundings inspire you as you complete this road race through some of the most scenic parts of Honolulu. After being given a medal, flower and a flute of bubbly by a hunky Hawaiian warrior, take in the stunning gold-sand beaches, amazing scenery and enjoy the wonderful weather Honolulu has to offer.

 

This amazing 5K course was designed to bring you the best of Honolulu.  If you are not yet ready for the 13.1 challenge but you are a running diva or a diva lover (for all the handsome casanovas), this race is is for you.  Enjoy a great run and an amazing and empowering experience or support the leading lady in your life!

Spectator Tips

Being a spectator and a cheerleader for your favorite diva runner is a great way to be part of this event! There's plenty for residents and visitors to see and enjoy along the course. But just as the runners take time to prepare for this event, you can also prepare and plan ahead for a memorable experience:

• Review the course map and plan your route. With over 2,500 runners it may be difficult, and at some times impossible, to cross the course during the race, even on foot.
• Know your runner’s expected pace per mile so you will know when he or she will be at the different locations on the course.
• Make sure you bring a beach chair or blanket, horns, signs and a great attitude to have fun and become a cheerleader.
