Hey Fellow LRCers,
I'll be running the Honolulu Marathon next Sunday for the first time (18th marathon overall). Any other LetsRunners going to be there? I'm in the 55-59 AG and targeting 3:15-3:18.
For those of you that have run this, any advice, useful info or feedback? Some questions that come to mind:
Staying at the Astin Waikiki Beach hotel. How far from there to the start? The finish?
Looks like the course is fairly flat, correct? How significant is the climb around Diamond Head out and back?
At the pace I'm targeting, how hard will it be to get on pace at the start? How crowded will if be along the way?
Seems like it may be dark for the first two hours of the race. How well are the streets lit? Any issues from running in the dark for that long?
Any other useful tips and thoughts are appreciated. Would love to hear experiences from those that have run this race before.
Thanks!
