For the first time in five years, the Honolulu Rainbow EKIDEN is back! Starting at Kapiolani Park, located on the eastern end of Waikiki, the 5 km course ascends Diamond Head Road and turns back at the lookout point overlooking the ocean. This course allows participants to fully experience the grandeur of Hawaii's natural beauty. The appeal of the race lies in its loop course, enabling all runners to support and cheer fellow participants while waiting for their turn. Ekiden participants can be as young as 7 years old, and families are welcome to participate. Additionally, a new kids' race, the ‘Oli'oli Challenge, will be held in the kids' area for children 12 years old and younger.
